Valentine's Day Color by Skills Activities and Printables for PK, Kindergarten and First

Color by Skill activities is exactly what you need to supplement your math and literacy centers in preschool, kindergarten and first grade with cute Valentine's Day Activities!

Color by Numbers 1-10 was created and designed to help students identify the numbers 1-10 and increase their number order recognition skills.  Number identification sets the foundation for young children to learn more complicated math concepts.   When children are able to easily recognize numbers their confidence will soar encouraging a positive relationship with math.  

Color by Numbers 1-10 can help students:
identify numbers 1-10
improve their ability to visually discriminate between numbers
number order recognition- which number comes before and after
build confidence in math and number concepts 


Color by Numbers 11-20 was created and designed to help students identify the numbers 11-20 and increase their number order recognition skills.  Number identification sets the foundation for young children to learn more complicated math concepts.   When children are able to easily recognize numbers their confidence will soar encouraging a positive relationship with math. 


Color by Numbers 11-20 can help students:
identify numbers 11-20
improve their ability to visually discriminate between numbers
number order recognition- which number comes before and after
build an understanding of place value

Color by ABC’s was created and designed to help students recognize uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters in a developmentally appropriate way.  Letter identification from my experience is an early indicator of reading success in the future.   Color by ABC printables focus on 5 letters at a time to help students recognize the differences between letters.  The letters are arranged to help students visualize the letters in alphabetical order.
Color by ABC’s can help students build:
uppercase and lowercase letter recognition
letter order recognition- which letter comes before and after in the alphabet
their ability to distinguish between uppercase letters and lowercase letters

Color by Shapes was created and designed to help students observe,  visually discriminated, compare and categorize shapes.  When a child is able to recognize and name shapes it strengthens their ability compare and contrast similarities and differences in the world around them.  Shape name identification will give children a descriptive set of vocabulary words to help communicate what they observe with adults and children.  Shapes are the first symbol students will identify.  This will help children identify more complicated symbols like letters and numbers in the future.
Color by Shapes can help students:
identify shapes
analyze, compare and contrast similarities and differences in shapes
visually discriminated between shapes
identify shapes no matter their size or orientation

Color by Sight Words Pre-Primer, Color by Sight Words Primer and Color by First Grade Sight word activities were created and designed to help students learn high frequency words in a developmentally appropriate way.  Color by Sight Word printables encourage students to not focus solely on memorization, but to also investigate letter sound association, letter patterns and spelling, match single letters and pairs of letters and common spellings for blends and sounds.   
Color by Sight Words can help students build:
decoding skills-which allows students to spend less time decoding and more time on reading comprehension
quicker word recall to increase reading fluency

letter to sound association
a child’s ability to recognize patterns in words


Color by Word Families was created and designed to help students recognize and identify predicable patterns in words.  Color by Word Family printables encourages students to find word “chunks” in simple and more complicated words.  The ability to identify patterns in words will help students spend less time decoding new words and more time on reading comprehension.     
 Color by Word Families can help students:
increase the ability to recognize patterns in words
build quicker word identification skills to increase reading fluency
apply word pattern identification skills to longer more challenging words

All of these activities are available in bundle for the year.  Follow each link for more details
