Our readers are loving ...Dancing Peacock SpiderRachel says:
"My second grade class said they had a lot of fun learning about the Peacock Spider and completing the craft. They loved how they could make the spider dance. We had a dance party when they were done. They needed about 2 hours to complete the entire project but I had them create a habitat on the background paper."
