How to Use Color By Code Worksheets

Teachers and homeschool parents are finding many ways to use printable coloring pages as educational activities. After all, the combination of literacy skills and math skills are perfect for early education.

Here are ways you can use color by code worksheets with your kids.

  1. Morning work: Before staring your morning routine, these hidden pictures are a great way to ease them into a critical thinking activity.
  2. Centers: If you are rotating your kids through learning stations, these would be an easy way to assure you have a fun, skill reviewing, activity for them to do.
  3. Extra practice: After assessing your kids’ skills, you may find they need extra practice in certain areas. If, for example, they need to practice letter or number recognition, these are perfect for that!
  4. Homework: Simply print and send home in the kids’ folders. The best part about these worksheets are the parents will know how to help them with it (if needed). Unlike some of the new math homework going home.
  5. Early Finisher Tasks: If you know; you know. Early finishers can get bored quickly without something to do. A color-by-number activity is a perfect task for your early finishers!
  6. Sub Lesson Plans:  Substitute teachers often need easy, no-prep, activities that review skills the kids already know.
