7 ways to use this FREE Color By Number Printables

FREE color by numbers My daughter is HUGE into coloring right now. Unlike her brother ( or her mom) she loves the challenge of staying in the lines. I created this simple free color by numbers printables for her to use but the beauty of it is that it’s completely adaptable. The colors are set but you can adjust the way your child reaches that number many many ways.

    I have noticed you don’t monetize your website, don’t waste your
    traffic, you can earn extra bucks every month because
    you’ve got high quality content. If you want to know how to make extra $$$, search for: Boorfe’s tips best adsense alternative

    I love your website, and as a former nursery school and kindergarten teacher, I have recommended it to many friends and teachers! If only I’d had all your wonderful resources when I was actually teaching! I’m very glad to have it now, though, especially since I’m helping my granddaughter with her “remote” kindergarten class.

    Even thought the season is pretty much behind us, I’d wanted to print the free Christmas tree printable featured on this page, but have not been able to figure out how to print it. Could you help me please?

    Thank you so much,
    Debbi Cody
