You can add these free Easter coloring pages to your Easter-themed preschool lesson plans, or you can print them out for a quiet time activity.

The goal with these worksheets is NOT to perfectly color within the lines. The IS to practice number recognition and color words while strengthening motor skills.

Easter Coloring Pages

To prepare these Easter printables, just print them on regular printer paper.

Provide your children with their favorite coloring tools – crayons, pencils, or markers.

The great thing about these Easter math color pages is that they can be enjoyed by kids of many ages.

Toddlers and preschoolers can use them to work on pencil pressure. It’s often difficult for young children to hold a crayon or pencil enough to make strong, dark marks on the page. Providing coloring pages regularly – with no worry about staying in the lines – is a great way to build this skill.

Kindergarten and early elementary aged kids can use the color by number worksheets to strengthen fine motor skills and develop proper pencil grip.

Older children can use these pages as a brain break between subjects or while listening to you read a story aloud.

When you provide these Easter color pages to your children, they’ll work on important math, literacy, and motor skills.

They also get a chance to practice following directions as they identify numbers on the page and use the color code to complete the activity.

Fun Ways to Use This Activity

While the goal of these worksheets is to work on math and literacy skills, there are so many more Easter activities that pair well with them.

Number Order

When your child is finished coloring the worksheet, have them turn it over and write the numbers 1-10 in order from smallest to largest. Challenge kindergarteners to write them from 10-1, as well.

Size Sorting

Have your children gather the crayons they used to complete their page. Sort them by size – shortest to longest or longest to shortest.

Color Names

Take this opportunity to teach your child additional color words. For instance, teach them that light blue could be turquoise, aqua, or teal. Pink could be fuschia.

Color Scavenger Hunt

Lay the crayons used to complete the page on the floor or table in a line. Send your child to find one or more items to match each crayon.
