Printing and coloring tips
- Before starting, color each box in the key with the matching crayon. Kids can then match by color as well as by number.
- Spaces with no number can stay white or take any color your child likes.
- Plain printer paper works for crayons and colored pencils. Use card stock for markers so they don't bleed through.
- Keep the answer key for the end, or print it next to the worksheet for a younger child to copy.

Easy pages have 4 to 6 colors, big numbers and wide spaces. They suit ages 4 to 6, once a child knows the numbers to 6.
