Summer Color by Number

Print and hand out to your Kindergarten students as independent work, a center activity, or a fun end-of-day wind-down. Most pages need nothing more than crayons or a pencil, so they work well for early finishers or a take-home summer packet.

This printable summer resource gives Kindergarten students a seasonal activity, whether that's a coloring page, matching game, craft, or a skill-practice resource with a summer theme. Use it for end-of-year fun, a summer learning packet, or anytime a seasonal twist helps keep kids engaged.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten summer activities, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with number recognition. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Numeral recognition, repeated across every region of the picture, in a summer theme. Each area means reading a number, holding it in mind, and finding it in the key, which is far more number reading than a page of numerals would get.

Yes, when the goal is recognizing numerals quickly. It is not arithmetic practice and should not be counted as such. Its real strength is that children stay with it long enough to get dozens of repetitions.

Check first that they can read the numerals in it, since ignoring the key sometimes means not being able to use it. If they can and are simply enjoying coloring, that is fine too. Come back to the number work another day.

1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
