Color by Number

In Color by Number topic, Kindergarten students will learn to follow number based directions carefully. Children learn to match a number to a color rule and apply it consistently. They practice recognizing numbers quickly and checking a simple key. They also practice staying focused and finishing a task step by step. This topic supports number recognition, attention, and self control.

What Children Learn

Children learn to recognize numbers up to 20 and later up to 50 while following directions. They practice matching each number to a rule, such as 1 means blue and 2 means red. Children learn to check the key each time until they remember it. They practice finding numbers in a mixed space and making careful choices.
