クモのライフサイクル

The little spiderlings emerging from their silk sac are so lifelike you almost expect them to move, and the 3,000-egg fact really made my kids stop and ask questions. A perfect hands-on way to teach life cycles without a screen in sight.

I was surprised by how detailed the egg stage is—you can actually see the tiny silk fibers wrapped around the eggs. My kids spent an hour comparing the different life stages to our backyard spiders.

The tiny spiderlings and silk sac are molded with such detail that my nephew insisted on checking if they were real. He spent twenty minutes just examining the egg-laying stage.
