Helpful Tools

Coloring supplies – You can choose between crayons, markers, colored pencils, or even water color paints! It doesn’t matter what you use, as long as you’ve got the colors that each page calls for on the keys. These Twistable Crayons are a favorite at my house since they’re sturdy and last a long time. So check them out if you need new coloring materials.
Printer – These summer color by number printables only need to be printed in black and white. You can print all of the pages or just a few. If you don’t have a printer, check to see if your local library allow you to print. Most libraries do and often it’s free!

Pro Tips

To make these pages easier for younger children to follow, color in each crayon in the key with the color it asks for. This will help your children more easily identify the colors that they need to use for each number.
Color different colors with different materials to create a fun texture on your page. For example, you could color the popsicles in an alternating pattern of crayons and colored pencils to make the textures different.
Add some fun summer themed stickers to your coloring pages to add extra pizzazz to your artwork! Your local craft store will have fun stickers, or you can check the craft section at your local Walmart.

What Age Is Color By Number For?

This color by number is an easy summer activity for kids ages 4-7 who are working on number and color recognition or are starting to read but it can be great for kids even younger, too! For preschoolers, this is a great activity for developing fine motor skills by holding coloring tools.

It’s really easy to have a fun summer day indoors! You can make a kid’s summer snack board to munch on, create a masterpiece with these free color by number printables, and make some delicious homemade slushies to sip on. There’s plenty of time to catch some rays during the summer. So, taking some time to relax indoors (while still having a blast) is always a great idea!
