Spider Coloring Pages
Make free printable spider coloring pages from 13 spider pictures we drew ourselves: a garden spider in its web, a jumping spider on a leaf, a hairy tarantula, a wolf spider in the grass, a little round spider on a thread, a spider hanging from a branch, a cobweb in a window corner, a spider web with dewdrops, a crab spider on a flower, a peacock spider showing its fan, a cellar spider with long thin legs, a wolf spider carrying her babies and a big simple spider for little ones. Every spider is our own drawing of a real kind of spider, seen from above with eight legs and eight small eyes, with no faces or cartoon eyes and no superhero, film, book, game, toy or cartoon spiders or characters, so the pages suit homes, classrooms and libraries. Print one big spider on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a garden scene with webs between the fence posts, a fold-in-half card, or a spider mandala with small spiders round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank spiders to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain spider outlines with no eyes or patterns, so children can invent their own markings; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same spider for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each blank outline is a plain spider (head-and-thorax, abdomen, two palps and eight legs) with no eyes or patterns (12 shapes), so the design is up to you.
Simple to detailed lines

Spider facts to read while you color
- Spiders are arachnids, not insects.
- A spider has two main body parts. The front part, the head and thorax together, carries the eyes, the mouthparts and all eight legs.
- Spiders make silk in their silk glands and spin it through their spinnerets.
- Spiders hunt in many ways: some trap their prey in webs, some stalk it, and some jump on it, like the jumping spider.
- Many spiders repair or rebuild their webs to keep them strong. Count the legs on every spider: there should be eight.

How are these different from the ladybug, bee and butterfly coloring pages?
They are new drawings, all of spiders and webs. None repeats a picture from our ladybug, bee, butterfly or monkey pages, and no outline is copied from those drawings.
Is a spider an insect?
No. The Australian Museum explains that spiders are arachnids, not insects: they have two main body parts and eight walking legs, with the eyes, mouthparts and legs on the front part.
Can children design their own spider?
Yes. Choose Blank spiders to decorate and pick 1, 2, 4 or 6 per page. Each is a plain spider (head, abdomen, two palps and eight legs) with no eyes or patterns. With no title, one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter; six fill 77 mm squares.
Which spider pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The big simple spider and the jumping spider on a leaf have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there spider coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Spider mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
