The large spiders and webs also give you plenty to point out and talk about together while your child colors, traces, or counts.

What Will Kids Learn?

These spider worksheets introduce a few basic skills for toddlers.

Letter recognition: Become familiar with the letter S and connect it with the word spider.
Pre-writing: Follow straight, curved, and angled tracing lines.
Counting: Count groups of one, two, and three spiders.
Fine motor skills: Practice controlling crayons or markers while tracing and coloring.
Visual attention: Follow paths and notice the different spider pictures on each page.

What Supplies Are Needed?

You only need a few basic supplies.

Printer (I have this one)
Paper
Crayons
Pencil or washable marker
You can also use dot markers on the large circles inside the letter S.

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Consider another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.

What Is Included?

The printable includes five spider-themed pages with coloring, letter recognition, tracing, and early counting activities.

Spider Coloring Page

The first page features two spiders, a spider web, and the large word Spider. Toddlers can color the pictures and letters while you talk about what they see.

S Is for Spider

Children explore a large letter S with circles inside it alongside a spider and web. They can color the page or fill the circles with crayons or dot markers while becoming familiar with the letter S.

Follow the Lines

Toddlers follow four straight dotted paths from different spiders up to their webs. This gives them a simple introduction to following a line from one point to another.

Trace the Lines

The next page adds more variety with a straight diagonal path, a curved path, and an angled path leading from a spider to different webs.

Let’s Count

Children count groups of one, two, and three spiders, then color the same number of dots beside each group to show their answer.

How Can You Extend the Activity?

Keep the spider theme going with a few low-prep activities.

How Can You Keep Learning Going?

FAQs

Let your child follow the lines with a finger first. You can also use a crayon or washable marker if that feels easier to control.

Yes. The large circles inside the letter S work well with dot markers, or your child can simply color them.

Place one, two, or three toy spiders, pom-poms, or other large counters beside the matching row and count them together. Choose items that are safe for your child’s age and supervise closely.

Let your child choose a favorite page to display, or use the spider pictures as a starting point for drawing a web or talking about spiders they’ve seen outside.
