Celebrate this spooky season this October with NUMU by making popsicle spiderwebs and yarn-wrapped mummies!
Create your spider web by weaving yarn through a popsicle frame, and add a pipe cleaner spider to it! Then, make a mummy friend by cutting out a paper doll and wrap it in yarn to give its bindings.
Materials for this activity will be available during regular hours.
Spiderwebs are more than a spider’s home! Different spider species use their webs as tools. Tarantulas use their webs to reinforce their underground burrows. Jumping spiders use their webs as safety lines when hunting to save themselves from falls.
What are mummies? They are the remains of departed life ritualistically prepared through the process of mummification and stored in protected spaces. Numerous cultures view it as an honor.
In this badge, you’ll find techniques to make your drawings even better—which will make it more fun to see what your imagination can do. Draw it out at New Museum Los Gatos. Our drawing badge workshop helps Junior Girl Scouts learn the basics of drawing, explore different drawing tools, and discover a little bit about graphic design!
