Spiderweb Slime!
Creepy, crawly and with more legs than would seem necessary, spiders are crucial to our local ecosystems. Most are harmless to humans and have fascinating traits and behaviours, including those that can build an intricate web in 30 to 60 minutes.
We’re even going to do a little spider-work ourselves and make some Spiderweb Slime!
