Color by Number Educational Benefits
Color-by-number activities are ideal for ages 4-8. It’s the perfect mix between brainpower and fun.
This simple printable activity develops:
- Number recognition
- Color recognition
- Fine motor skills
While it would be a challenge for younger kids around age 3, I think it’s very doable with an adult’s help and guidance.
Overall, it’s a great way to mix learning with play while celebrating Easter.
How to Do Color-by-Number
These Color-by-Number sheets are a fun Easter activity for kids of all ages, though it’s probably developmentally best for ages 4-8.
It’s super simple to do as well.
Just find the number on the design and look for the corresponding color at the top of the page. Color in that numbered section with the proper color to bring life to your coloring page!
As an example, if the area has a 1, and the color guide says 1 is blue, you’d color it in blue. It’s a challenge for ages 3-4, and as you get closer to 7-8, it’s an easy, fun Easter activity.
Color-by-Number Supplies
One of the best parts of these free printable coloring pages is the simple supply list!
- 24-pack of Crayola crayons
- Paper & printer
- Art bin for on-the-go
- Craft organizers for keeping things tidy at home
My favorite supplies for Color-by-Number pages are simply Crayola crayons (the 24-pack has all the colors you need) and regular old printer paper. You truly don’t need anything special.
If you plan to take these pages on the go, an art bin is the perfect way to ensure you don’t lose anything.
Finally, I love these craft organizers for keeping everything tidy at home. My kids can make a mess of arts and crafts supplies, and these ensure everything has a home.

The 24-crayon pack from Crayola is perfect.

These free Easter printables feature 10 color-by-number pages that include the Easter bunny, an Easter basket, an Easter chick, Easter eggs, and more.
I also love the option to color words – there’s a “Happy Easter!” sheet, which adds another fun lesson in letter recognition.
My daughter was particularly fond of the cute chick, and colorful eggs are always a hit. The chick holding the egg has a cute easter color combo of blue and pink, which my daughter suggested!
My son immediately chose the bunny coloring page, which is also one of the simpler designs to color.
I tried to ensure the different pages had pretty Spring color palettes to help you decorate your fridge and possibly even the walls as we celebrate the Easter holiday.
Color by Number worksheets are a great way to switch it up from regular coloring pages. Make your little one’s brain work a little bit harder as they have arts and crafts time. The Easter theme is just a cute bonus.
