Common questions about this coloring page
Start with number 1. Point to its outline and let your child trace the shape with their finger. Say the number aloud and connect it to the number of fingers or objects around them to internalize the realistic form.
As numbers don't have 'natural' colors, free color choice is ideal to foster creativity. Explain that numbers can glow in any color they imagine. The realistic design helps recognize the shape, not the color.
Point out the specific features: 'Look, the 6 has its belly at the bottom, like a little snail's shell, and the 9 has its head at the top, like a balloon flying high.' Have your child trace the writing direction of the numbers.
After coloring, ask your child to count objects in the room that match the colored number. Cut out the numbers and have them arrange them in the correct order or use them for simple counting games.
