Spider Dangling from a Leafy Branch

This cartoon spider hangs from one thread tied to a tree branch, with sparkly round eyes and a big smile. Stripes split up its rounded body, and eight chunky, curved legs stick out on both sides, leaving roomy spaces for small hands. Up top, the branch carries three large leaves with bold center veins, one on the left and two on the right. Thick outlines and simple shapes make it a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids working on staying inside the lines. Bright orange or purple looks great on the striped back, and soft greens for the leaves help the spider stand out. Print it free for a quiet afternoon, a classroom bug unit, or a Halloween activity that isn't too spooky. This page is part of our Spider coloring pages collection — check out Ghost and Bat too.
