Frequently Asked Questions
What coloring supplies work best with this page?
Crayons, colored pencils, and washable markers all work wonderfully with this design. If your child prefers markers or wet media, printing on cardstock will prevent any ink from bleeding through the paper.
What should we do if we lack the exact color shades listed in the key?
Encourage your child to choose the closest available shades from their craft supplies, such as swapping standard gray for castle stone. Adapting the colors gives children an opportunity to explore color mixing and creative problem solving.
Is this page appropriate for a four-year-old?
Yes, younger children near age four can complete the page with a small amount of adult guidance to match each number to its crayon. Older children up to age ten will likely enjoy completing the entire picture independently.
