Frequently Asked Questions
What coloring tools work best for this page?
Crayons and colored pencils work wonderfully on standard copy paper. If your child prefers markers, using a heavier paper or cardstock will keep the ink from bleeding onto the table.
What should we do if we do not have all nine exact shades?
Do not worry about matching every shade precisely. Feel free to substitute similar colors you already have at home, such as swapping light cherry for pink or using regular blue instead of teal.
Is this page suitable for preschoolers who cannot read number names?
Yes, children aged three and four can enjoy this activity with a little guidance. You can assist them by coloring small swatch marks next to each number on the color key before they begin.
