Friendly Cartoon Spider

Wave hello to a spider that's all smiles! This cartoon spider has a big round body, a smaller round head, two large happy eyes, a cheerful grin, and eight evenly spaced bent legs — and one of them is raised in a friendly wave. The bold, simple outlines and roomy body make it a perfect first spider for toddlers, while the eight separate legs give older kids eight chances to try different colors. It's a great gentle introduction for anyone who feels a little nervous about spiders, because this one looks more like a cuddly cartoon than a creepy-crawly. While you color, count the legs together: every spider has exactly eight, which is one way to tell them apart from insects, which have six. Print it on US Letter or A4 and make this happy spider as colorful as you like.
