Jumping Spider
A wide-eyed jumping spider with two huge round front eyes, crouched and ready to pounce — a curious, characterful spider coloring page.
Say hi to the most curious spider around! This jumping spider has a compact fuzzy body, two very large round front eyes plus several smaller eyes, and short sturdy legs crouched as if ready to spring, with an alert, inquisitive expression. Those two big front eyes are the star of the page and great fun to color, while the simple crouched pose keeps the picture clear for younger artists. Jumping spiders are famous for their amazing eyesight — they can see almost as well as we do for their size — and they pounce on prey rather than spinning a web to catch it. Some even seem to tilt their heads to look at people! Color the big eyes dark and shiny, give the fuzzy body bold stripes, and print it on US Letter or A4 in any colors you choose.
Coloring Tips
- Big bold eyes — color the two front eyes dark and leave a white dot in each so they look shiny and alert.
- Fuzzy stripes — many jumping spiders have bands of color, so try stripes of black, orange or iridescent green.
- Ready to pounce — shade the crouched legs a little darker underneath to show the spider tucked low and tense.
