+Solve and Color

Solve it. Find it. Color it.

Free printable coloring pages where every space hides a math problem. Made for 5 and 6 year olds who'd rather color than do a worksheet — so we made the worksheet the coloring page.

Elephant Splash worksheet: a line drawing of an elephant splashing in a pond, with an addition problem in every space and a color key at the bottom

How it works

Print it

Regular printer paper is fine. Black and white, one page per kid.

Solve each space

Every closed shape has a small problem inside. Work them out one at a time — or all at once, then color.

Match the color key

The answer is a number from 1 to 9. Find it in the key at the bottom and color that space.
