While I was working on the Countdown to Halloween Activity jar posted here and here, I started thinking about a simpler countdown project. This is the brainchild I created.
This is one of my favorite home decor items that I have made. It was easy, and a tiny bit time consuming, but loads of fun. My husband said it really should be called a Halloween Countup rather than a countdown because the spiders are added instead of taken away. Each day a new spider is placed onto the board in numerical order. Here is a video explaining it a little bit further:
However you use it, I hope you have a good time with this project.
