Halloween is here and for us that means it’s time to study spiders! EEK! I’ve gathered some of our favorite spider books and activities to add to our homeschool learning time together. I hope you find some fun and inspiration here as well!
Spider Book Recommendations
The first thing I love to do when we begin a new themed unit is grab ALL. THE. BOOKS. for that theme. And finding books for a spider theme is SO much fun! Using a Science themed Math and Literacy unit is a great way to include nonfiction texts in your reading! Check out some of our favorite spider books below! *These are Amazon affiliate links.

We LOVE getting into our life cycle studies each year, and this spider life cycle study is no exception! It includes tons of fun ways to learn about spider like book recommendations, videos, sensory bins, STEM ideas, practice pages, and MORE!
Spider Play Dough Tray
A spider play dough tray is the perfect addition to your spider study! We love adding fun little gems to our tray like beads to decorate our spiders and keep them from turning out TOO spooky. Ha! This tray is a great fine motor skills activity and will help bring your spider life cycle study to life!
