Working in pairs, give each group a container of dental floss and challenge them to create a realistic spider web. Can they do it with the dental floss in one piece, and no tape? Scissors and knots will definitely make it easier. Knots and loops could help build the structure.
Either before or after, use the opportunity to discuss spider webs, look for some around you, and learn how they're created.
