Spider Wearing a Witch Hat Coloring Page

A round spider wears a pointed witch hat that bends over at the tip and finishes in a small curl. The hat has a wide brim and a band across the base of the cone, which gives three separate parts to color before you reach the spider underneath.

The body is one large circle. Two big eyes with filled pupils, two oval blush marks and a broad smile fill the upper half of it. Eight legs reach out from behind the hat brim, four on each side, each drawn as a segmented strip with a pointed tip.

Scale is what makes this design work. The hat stands nearly as tall as the spider is wide, so it reads as a costume rather than an accessory, and the brim cuts across the top legs in a way that puts the spider firmly underneath it.

Outlines are heavy throughout and there are no fine lines anywhere. Purple and black is the expected treatment. A striped hat in two colors takes longer and looks better.

The bottom fifth of the page is empty paper. It is the right amount of room to add a broom or a line of grass if a child wants more to do.
