16 Spider Coloring Pages
Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids with eight legs and two body parts, while insects have six legs and three. Most spiders have eight eyes, and many spin silk that is, by weight, stronger than steel. Spiders help people by eating flies, mosquitoes and other pests, and of the roughly 50,000 known species, very few are harmful to humans. This collection makes spiders friendly instead of scary. A spider sits on its web, perches on a tall mushroom, hides in a jack-o'-lantern, peeks out of a tall boot and tucks its legs while standing tall. One balances on a stack of gifts. A baby spider and two cute spider pages are great for little kids who are a bit nervous about spiders. Real spiders are often black, brown or gray, but jumping spiders can be bright with fuzzy, colorful markings. Silver or gray webs and an orange pumpkin add Halloween color. Count all eight legs together.
Friendly spiders and a web to fill
The eyebrow spider, Cute Spider Character and Cute Spider are easy pages with one round body, eight curved legs and a simple face. They look alike at first, but each has different eyes and a different smile, so kids can compare them. Spider on Web is the medium page, since the web is split into many small sections by straight threads and curved rings.
Spooky or sweet colors
Black, charcoal and purple give a classic Halloween look, while teal, pink or lime make a cheerful garden spider. Striped or spotted legs and a pattern on the blank top of Cute Spider add personality. Silver or gray threads suit the web. Kids can also learn that spiders are not insects, since they have eight legs and two main body parts.
