Spider on a Web

This is the spider scene everyone pictures! A smiling garden spider sits right in the center of a large round web with neat radiating spokes and spiral threads, the whole web stretched between two leafy twigs. The big circular web gives older kids satisfying repeating lines to color, while the friendly spider and the open shapes keep it welcoming for younger artists. Garden spiders, also called orb-weavers, build a fresh wheel-shaped web like this almost every day and often sit head-down in the middle waiting for a meal. They can feel the tiniest tug on the silk through their legs, which tells them when something has landed. Color the web silvery and the twigs leafy green, then make the spider any shade you like. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a tidy, classic spider page the whole family will recognize.
