Interested in some free Spider-man coloring pages? My 7-year-old is going through a massive Spider-man phase right now. Everything has to be Spider-man – his backpack, his pajamas, even his toothbrush. Last week he asked if we could paint his bedroom walls red and blue with webs. Hard pass on that one.
But I did find a bunch of really good Spider-man coloring pages online that have kept him busy for hours. Way cheaper than buying more Spider-man toys, and honestly? I’ve been coloring some of them myself after he goes to bed. Don’t judge me – they’re actually pretty relaxing.
These aren’t those crappy pixelated printouts either. They’re good quality and print clearly on regular paper. I’ve tested all of them so you don’t have to deal with weird formatting issues or pages that cut off Spider-man’s head.
How to Download and Print Spider-man Coloring Pages
Super simple:
- Look at the pages below
- Click download on whatever you want
- Save it (I just throw everything in a folder called “random stuff”)
- Print it
- Give your kid crayons and prepare for blessed silence
Things I figured out the hard way:
- Don’t use the crappy printer paper or everything looks washed out
- Print on good quality setting or the web lines look like scribbles
- Check “fit to page” or you’ll cut off Spider-man’s head (learned that one the embarrassing way)
- They’re all normal size so they actually fit on regular paper
Where to find Spiderman Coloring Pages for free?
These are the ones my son actually colors instead of ignoring. Some are easy enough for toddlers, others have enough going on to keep bigger kids busy.

6 Tips for Coloring
After watching my kid color a million of these things, here’s what actually works:
1. Get the Right Supplies
Crayons are fine for little kids but colored pencils work better for details. Markers are bright and pretty but they bleed through everything and somehow my kid always gets marker on the kitchen table.
Obviously red and blue are the main colors but let them go nuts with whatever they want.
2. Start with Light Colors
If you’re doing shading or whatever (which my 7-year-old definitely is not), start light and go darker. Way easier than trying to go backwards.
3. Try Some Shading
For older kids or if you’re secretly coloring these yourself, try making some parts darker. Makes everything look way more professional and 3D.
4. Don’t Stress About the Lines
Seriously, don’t worry if they go outside the lines. Sometimes the messiest pictures are the most creative. My son adds his own webs and buildings and they always look better than the original.
5. Take Breaks
These detailed pages can be tiring. I often stop whenever I get tired. You should too, if your hand cramps up or you get frustrated, just stop and come back later. It’s supposed to be fun.
6. Use Whatever Colors You Want
Spider-man doesn’t have to be red and blue, you can make your own rule. My son has made purple Spider-man, rainbow Spider-man, even a pink and green one. It’s his artwork – let him make it however he wants.
5 Creative Uses for Spider-man Coloring Pages
Don’t just toss these when you’re done:
1. Wall Gallery
Frame the good ones and hang them up. My son’s room looks like a Spider-man art museum now and honestly it’s way cooler than store-bought posters.
2. Gift Wrapping
Color a bunch and tape them together for wrapping paper. Kids love getting presents wrapped in their own artwork and it’s way cheaper than buying wrapping paper.
3. Bookmarks
Cut out Spider-man and glue him to cardstock with a ribbon. Good teacher gifts or party favors.
4. Scrapbook
Use the colored pages to make a Spider-man scrapbook. Add photos and stickers and whatever. Great rainy day project.
5. Puppet Shows
Color and cut out multiple Spider-mans, tape to popsicle sticks. My son has like ten Spider-man puppets now and puts on elaborate shows for anyone who will watch.
Conclusion
I never thought I’d become the Spider-man coloring expert in my house but here we are. These pages have saved my sanity more times than I can count. There’s something weirdly relaxing about coloring in all those tiny web patterns – even I do it sometimes when he’s asleep.
Whether your kid is 3 or 13 (or you’re doing it yourself because why not), these work. They’re free, they actually print well, and there’s enough different ones that nobody gets bored.
Just download whatever looks good, find some crayons, and see what happens. Worst case you kill an hour without screens. Best case you discover that coloring Spider-man webs is surprisingly therapeutic.
Either way you’ll have some cool superhero art for your fridge.
