This pack has ten designs to help your child focus on those skills. The color by number printables feature numbers 1-11.
First, they’ll identify the numbers in each shape on the page. Then, they’ll use the color code to color the page and reveal a mystery picture.
If you have a younger preschooler who doesn’t know the color words yet, you can color the color words for them. Then, they’ll use those colors to complete the picture.
