Cute Friendly Spider on Its Web Coloring Page (Free Printable)

Right in the center of a neat, round web sits a spider with big googly eyes and a wide happy grin. It is hard to be afraid of a face like that, which makes this page a gentle way to introduce a classic Halloween creature. The web is made of lots of small sections, and coloring them is a great exercise in patience and precision for kids around five and up. Try filling alternating sections with two colors to make a pattern, or keep the web white and color the background dark so the web really stands out. Younger kids can concentrate on the spider's round body and legs. This page also opens the door to a quick science chat: spiders have eight legs, they spin webs from silk they make themselves, and they help gardens by catching insects. Count the legs together before you start coloring. For a sparkly finish, trace the web lines with a little glue and sprinkle on glitter.
