Animals, seasons and holidays, community helpers, space and nature, a full alphabet set from A to Z, a numbers 1 to 10 set, color by code pages, and themed pages that go with our weekly themes.
Are these coloring pages good for kindergarten?
⌄
Yes. The outlines are thick and the spaces are big, so they suit crayons and young hands. Many pages also print the name of each picture, so children can read the words as they color.
How do color by code pages work?
⌄
Each space holds a sight word, a picture, a number word or a math fact. Children read or solve it, find the matching color in the key, and color the space to reveal a picture. Every color by code page has an answer key.
Do I need a color printer?
⌄
No. The coloring pages are black and white line art, so they print well on any home or school printer.
