Spider Web Glasses

Suitable for preschoolers and toddlers

This is a very simple, but effective activity even kids under 5 can do (with parent’s supervision). Using puffy paint, draw spider web patterns on drinking glasses to make your dinner table look fun and playful. The reason why puffy paint is used is because it adds dimension and a 3D effect for a more realistic look. Fill glasses with colorful drinks, and you’re done! (by Goodhousekeeping.com) . To make your creation even more interesting, you can spruce up the glasses by adding black or glow-in-the-dark drinking straws.
