WHAT IS A COLOR BY NUMBER?

Color by numbers are basically coloring pages that give directions via numbers for what colors certain sections.

The numbers listed are typically 1-10 (can be higher for bigger pictures with more colors needed) and it gives the kids a guideline to match the numbers up with the coloring guide that is printed and included on the same page.

As long as they follow the directions, each section of the coloring page is numbered to help them know the exact colors to use.

HOW DO YOU DO A CHRISTMAS COLOR BY NUMBER?

The only real “rule” to use a color by number is that you just pair the colors up with the appropriate numbers. You can start at any number that you want though so it’s super simple and flexible to do.

This makes it also super simple to stop and start coloring the picture as well. This Christmas color by number set ends up so colorful and beautiful.
