Spiders are a great way to explain that not every bug is an insect, since spiders have eight legs and two body parts. Real spiders can be brown, black, gray, yellow or even bright green. Many families color spiders in fall, but they also fit a nursery rhyme time, a garden walk or a lesson about how webs catch food.
Webs are easier to color on a dark background. Kids can color the space between threads in black or purple and leave the threads white, or trace them with a white gel pen.

Questions parents and teachers ask
Is a spider page too scary for a toddler?
The very simple and easy levels show round, friendly spiders without scary details. Most toddlers enjoy them, especially when paired with a song about a spider.
Why isn't a spider an insect?
Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders have eight legs and two body parts, so they belong to a different group called arachnids.
How do I color a spider web?
Leave the thin threads white and color the spaces between them in a dark color. A white gel pen or a silver crayon helps the web stand out.
