Spider Between Pumpkins Coloring Page

About this page

Hanging by a single long thread from the top of the page, a smiling spider dangles above two carved pumpkins. Its round head has big shiny eyes and a small smile, and its eight legs bend in jointed segments out to the sides. The two pumpkins sit side by side at the bottom, each with curly stems, ribs, triangle eyes, a small nose and a toothy grin. The pumpkin on the right has slightly different eyes and smile than the left one. The pumpkins are large and the spider is small, so the page has big areas to fill and a few fine details to add. A tidy symmetrical layout for kids who like cute creepy-crawlies. Mirror-image pumpkins invite two different color schemes side by side.
