Christmas Color by Number

How to use these pages

Each space in the picture has a number, and the key under the picture says which colour goes with it. Colour every space and the Christmas picture appears. Easy pages have big spaces and three or four colours for ages 4 to 6; the busier pages have up to seven colours for ages 5 to 9.

Every PDF has the page three ways: a colour swatch key for children who can’t read colour words yet, a “3 = red” word key, and a number-word key (“three = red”). Page 2 is the finished picture, so checking takes a second. The word keys work on a black and white printer.

The color by code pages are maths practice for the last weeks of the school year: sums within 10 or 20, subtraction, and the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables, each answer a colour in the key. For more Christmas worksheets, see the Christmas activity sheets, or colour a whole picture freely with the Christmas colouring pages.
