Ideas for Using These Color by Number Worksheets
A few places that you can use these color by number pages are:
Tip: Print out extra copies of these vacation pages. Your children may want to do do multiple copies OR you may want to join the fun!
A great idea to help your travelers take these vacation printables to the next level is by letting them choose their coloring tools. My boys prefer crayons, colored pencils, or markers. We’ve also had success with thin Kwik Stix (tempera paint sticks) and oil pastels for bold colors.
- Display each of the completed pages after your students color them in. Place on your refrigerator, cork board, wall, hallway, bulletin board, or other frequently viewed areas.
- During your coloring time, play music in the background as your kids work on their activities. Try calming or energizing music based on what you’d like your students to do.
- Consider cutting out the finished project (just cut along the solid black line) and glue on construction paper or decorative cardstock. This step makes quite a colorful picture or poster!
