Spiders’ webs

Look out for the webs made much more visible by dew. Rain drops sit on the web and highlight the beautiful and intricate shape of it. Note how strong the web must be so that it is not destroyed by the weight of the water. In the winter, you may be lucky enough to find the webs covered in frost, emphasizing their shape in the same way.
See if you child can see the spider in the web or indeed, any prey that is caught in it. Look carefully at the shapes involved. Can he draw a web with white chalk on black paper?
