About this resource

Colour Your Numbers 1-10 Printable is a handy resource for Nursery (Early Years), Year 1, and some Year 2 students who need extra number sense support. This one-page printable features two rows with the numbers 1-10 mixed up and a colour code key at the bottom. Students will sharpen number recognition skills as they match each number to its corresponding colour. This activity can be used for individual practice, small groups, or whole class to give students the repeated exposure needed to solidify number identification. It's perfect for early finishers, substitutes, centres, morning work, and more.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students recognise 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.

Teaching tips

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.

Skills covered

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.
