When introducing these printable pages to your child, it’s important to explain how to complete the activity in a step-by-step manner.
Start by pointing out how each section is filled with a number corresponding to a specific color in the color code at the top of the page.
As they identify and recognize each number and color word, they can then accurately color in each section of the picture with the correct color and create a beautiful masterpiece at the same time!
Aside from learning basic numeracy concepts, color by number activities also serve as great tools for improving fine motor skills.
By having to trace over outlines and fill in sections with crayons or colored pencils, children are able to practice grip strength as well as coordination between each hand.
