With eight hairy legs, this giant spider monster sits right in the middle of its own intricately spun web — one of the most iconic Halloween symbols of all, shown here as a full-blown, oversized monster. This giant spider monster coloring page is free to print, so you can start coloring right away.
The eight legs offer an interesting coloring challenge: how do you make all the legs feel like they belong together while still keeping each one visually distinct? And the delicate web around it invites calm, even lines.
Why spiders belong to Halloween like almost no other animal
Spider webs in the corners, little spider charms as decor, giant inflatable spiders in front yards — hardly any animal is as closely tied to Halloween decorations as the spider. That's probably because many people naturally feel a bit wary of spiders, even though the vast majority are completely harmless. For kids, it's a great opportunity to learn more about real spiders and understand that they're actually helpful animals.
