How to use these pages
- Print the page on plain paper. The picture and its color key fit on one sheet.
- Match crayons to the key. Each number has a color and a name, such as “4 · Red”. Lay the crayons out in number order first, which helps younger kids.
- Color every space with its number’s color. Big spaces first, small details last.
- Check with the answer key. It shows the finished picture, so kids can check their own work.
Color by number builds number recognition, color matching and fine-motor control, and it’s calm enough for indoor recess, early finishers or a restaurant table.
