Halloween is loaded with so many sweet treats in kid-tempting packages that healthy snacks don’t stand a chance. But when these spider snack cups are filled with trail mix, grape clusters, sliced vegetables or crackers and cheese, you may find sugar-hyped party goblins willing to pack in a little nutrition to balance things out a bit.

Craft Supplies:

• Black baking cups
• Plastic wiggle eyes
• Black craft paper
• Glue Dots or glue stick

Craft Directions:

1. Fold a sheet of the black paper in half. Use a pencil to draw four straight, or bent legs.
2. Cut unfold the legs to make eight legs. You may need to cut the legs in half to manipulate them correctly.
3. Use Glue Dots to secure the legs on the bottom of the cupcake liner.
4. Attach the wiggle eyes on the front of the cup with Glue Dots.
5. Fill the snack cup with trail mix, cheese cubes and pretzels, fruit, veggies and dip.
