How to use these pages

  1. Print the page on plain paper. The picture and its color key fit on one sheet.
  2. 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.
  3. Color every space with its number’s color. Big spaces first, small details last.
  4. 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.
