Color the Pennies and Nickels

Put a real penny, nickel, dime and quarter on the table and let the child feel and compare them. Read the coin names aloud and ask the child to point to each one before starting the page.

Color each penny brown and each nickel gray, using the color key in the Example. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Look at the color key in the Example. Color each penny brown. Color each nickel gray. The page opens with a worked example.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool money, 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 name the coins. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

15 printable worksheets, 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 preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
