RATING/REVIEW:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is a great activity to do early in the year with my kindergarten students. I use it for morning work when students are coming in and getting settled. Thank you for sharing!"

I've made 3 coloring sheets by hand - with color code where numbers correspond to colors. Of course they can be printed and colored ANY color, but the "cheat sheets" I've provided match the code.

I'm more of a doodler than an artist, but I hope it's still an enjoyable activity!

At the time of making these, I didn't have a great purple color for the colored examples, so it looks like blue. So sorry! Have some grace on colors that aren't super obvious.
