These spiderweb cupcakes are a great thing to make with your kids this Halloween. Not only are they easy to make (you can start with cupcakes baked from scratch or from a mix), but they are so much fun to decorate. Your little ones will love decorating these cupcakes in their own ways.

If you want to encourage creativity in your children, these cupcakes are perfect. Your kids can choose whatever colors they want to decorate these cupcakes. You don’t even have to stick with regular M&M’s. Instead, you can choose whatever round candies you want. This gives children more colors to choose from.
