Count the legs: eight on every spider

Spiders have eight legs and, unlike insects, no antennae. Every spider here is drawn with four legs a side, so a child can count to eight on the sheet before coloring it.

Where the black crayon goes

Black is in seven of the 8 easy keys, and the Hanging spider uses the most of it: 45 squares. Three sheets color all 144 squares: the Spider and a pumpkin, the Tarantula and the Spider on a leaf.

  • On the Spider on a web the 29 white squares are the threads: color the blue around them and the web appears.
  • The easy Spider on a web has a single red square: the mark on the spider's back.
