Summer Color by Number Worksheets for Preschool–2nd Grade

These summer color by number worksheets give children a cheerful way to practice number recognition, addition, and subtraction during the summer months. The packet includes simple number-matching pages for younger learners along with addition, subtraction, and mixed-fact versions for children who are ready for more math practice.

With 16 printable worksheets and an answer key, this set works especially well for mixed-age homeschool families, summer review, independent practice, or an afternoon activity when everyone needs something simple to pull out and use.

If you read here at Mama’s Learning Corner often, you know my girls love these worksheets.  More often than not, I’m working on a new set for them! Even though we’re heading into the end of summer, I have a set of Summer Color By Number worksheets that are a great fit if you have young ones in different stages of learning.

You’ll find simple color by number worksheets (for example 2=blue) or  addition and subtraction color by number.

➡ Browse more color by number and color by code worksheets for Preschool through elementary grades. The collection includes simple numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, sight words, beginning sounds, CVC words, and more.

What Is Included in the Summer Color by Number Worksheets?

This printable packet includes 16 summer color by number worksheets at several different skill levels.

You will receive:

• 8 simple color by number worksheets for number recognition
• 3 addition color by number worksheets with sums to 12
• 3 subtraction color by number worksheets with numbers to 12
• 2 mixed addition and subtraction color by number worksheets
• An answer key for the completed pictures

The simple number pages and math-fact pages use the same summer pictures. Only the numbers or equations change. This makes it possible for siblings or children at different levels to color matching pictures while completing math work that fits their individual needs.

Choose the Right Color by Number Page for Each Child

One of the most helpful features of this packet is that the same summer pictures are available at different math levels. You can choose the version that fits each child without giving everyone a completely different activity.

For preschool and kindergarten: Begin with the simple number recognition pages. Children find the number in each section, match it to the color code, and color the picture.

For kindergarten and first grade: Try the addition pages with sums to 12. Children solve each addition problem before finding the corresponding color.

For first and second grade: Use the subtraction or mixed addition and subtraction pages for a little more math review.

This also makes the packet useful for mixed-age homeschool families. Younger and older children can complete the same summer picture side by side while practicing different skills. I created the pages like this so all of my girls could color the same pages at their own levels.

Ways to Use These Summer Color by Code Worksheets

These worksheets can be used throughout the summer without requiring a full math lesson or a complicated activity setup.

Here are a few ideas of how you can use these summer color by code worksheets in your own home or setting.

• A few minutes of summer math review
• Independent work while you help another child
• A simple activity during a hot afternoon at home when no one wants to go outside
• Practice pages for a summer homeschool schedule
• A quiet table activity during travel or appointments
• Side-by-side practice for siblings at different math levels

I advise that you go ahead and print the whole packet at once. It’s so much easier when it’s already printed and you can just pull what you need from the folder on your desk. Make it easy on yourself, Mama!
