AdventurerKatziThis little jumping spider from a plastic bottle provides fun and stimulates to play.
You need a large empty clean plastic bottle and a couple of wobble eyes. The spider can make big jumps on the rubber band, while it jumps back and forth rather without rubber band. Check out the variants and decide what you like. Have fun!

First cut off the lower part of the bottle. The length of my bottle is now about 15-20cm. Let an adult help you with this!
Now start cutting the plastic from the bottom to the top into narrow strips. Uses scissors to do this.
Cut the strips up to the bottle neck.
Now round off each strip at the ends with the scissors.
Cut the legs slightly narrower, then they bend more easily to the outside. Try it out!
Now bends every single strip.
First bend the strip from the outer edge about 2cm wide inwards. Then bend another 3cm outwards. So you get a standing spider's leg. See the following pictures:
If all the legs are bent, then the spider will stand up. Try now whether the spider will wiggle as soon as you press the edge of the bottle with your fingers.
Maybe bend the spider's legs a little bit.
Now you're gonna stick her eyes on the shackles.
Now your spider can jump already!
Alternatively, you can also let the spider hop on the rubber band.
Now you're stabbing a hole in the lid of the bottle.
Uses a fingernail scissors or a nail.
Attention: Risk of injury! Let an adult help you!
Through this hole you thread a string (length about 30cm).
Now knot the end of the cord.
Then pull the thread back to the point where the knot lies in the inside of the lid.
Now screw the lid back onto the edge of the bottle.
Now glue the two wobble eyes below the cap onto the bottle.
Tip: Alternatively, you can also paint the eyes with a foil pen.
Your jumping spider is ready!
Have fun playing!
