Printables for use with children's books.

Preschool and up: Read a number of spider themed children's books to the children over the course of a few days. Give each child a "spider graph" page. Have the children write the titles of 2 to 4 books on their page. Then have them wander around the classroom and ask their classmates which of their titles was the classmate's favorite. Have them mark the favorite on the graph paper box to track the most popular title.

Kindergarten and up: Have the children read one of the spider books (either fiction or non-fiction). Give each child 2 or 3 lined "spider pages" to write a short book report.

Kindergarten and up: After reading a number of fiction and non-fiction works, have the children write what it might be like to have a spider living in their house -- food needs, temperature, playtime, etc would all be topics they could address. Alternatively, you could have them write what they like about spiders.

Grade 1 and up: Use some of the non-fiction spider books (or KidZone's Spider Facts) to do research about spiders. Give each child 2 or 3 lined "spider pages" to write down some of the information they've learned.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind KidZone.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Writing for Kids: My happy place is creating engaging content that sparks curiosity and joy in young minds.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the educational content on KidZone.ws is largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy learning!
