Colouring Numbers 1-10 Worksheet - Colour by Number

Students recognize and locate numerals 1 through 10 when they are not presented in sequential order.

Students follow a colour-coded instruction (matching a specific numeral to a specific colour) for all ten numbers.

Students practice colour-name recognition by identifying and applying ten named colours correctly.

Have students point to and say each numeral aloud before colouring it, turning the activity into a quick numeral-recognition check as well as a colouring task.

Use the editable PowerPoint version to swap in a different set of colours or reorder the numerals if you want a fresh version for repeated practice.

Pair this with a counting activity afterward, since the numerals themselves are scattered rather than presented in order, unlike a typical 1-10 counting page.

Numeral recognition — students locate numerals 1 through 10 presented out of sequential order.

Colour-word matching — students apply ten specific colour instructions (red, orange, blue, pink, black, yellow, green, purple, brown, white) to the correct numerals.
