Bring a sunny garden to life with this flower colour by number activity for kids. Every part of the picture has a small number inside it, and every number stands for one colour. Children match the number to the colour key and fill the space neatly.

This free printable worksheet is lovely for preschool and early primary children who are learning numbers 1 to 8. It is simple enough for beginners, yet the petals, leaves and little pot keep the picture interesting right to the last space.

How to play

Look at the colour key and read each number with your child, saying the colour name out loud.
Find all the areas marked with number 1 and colour them in. Then move on to number 2, and so on.
Keep going until every numbered space is filled, and check that no white patches are left.
Display the finished flower on the fridge or a classroom wall.

This activity quietly builds a lot of early skills. Your child practises number recognition from 1 to 8, matches each number to a colour, and learns to follow a simple key — an early step towards reading charts and maps. Colouring inside the lines strengthens the small hand muscles needed for neat writing, while finishing one number at a time teaches planning and patience. Talking about petals, leaves, stems and pots adds new words too. If your child is very young, help with the first two numbers and let them finish the rest on their own.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this flower colour by number best for?

It suits children aged about four to six. Younger children who already know numbers 1 to 8 can try it with a little help, while older children can finish it alone and add their own background details.

Can we use crayons instead of colour pencils?

Yes. Crayons, colour pencils, sketch pens or even poster paint all work well. Chunky crayons are easiest for small hands, while colour pencils give neater edges in the thin petal and leaf spaces.

My child colours the wrong number. What should I do?

Stay relaxed and treat it as practice. Point to the colour key together, read the number aloud and ask which colour it matches. Mistakes are a normal part of learning to follow a key.

Is this worksheet free to print at home or in class?

Yes, it is completely free for home and classroom use. Print as many copies as you need so children can repeat the activity or try different shades of green and pink each time.
