Hop to Ten is a printable color by number for kids book that uses only the numbers 1 to 10. Every picture has big spaces, big friendly numbers and a crayon key with simple color names, so preschoolers and kindergartners can find a number, match it to a crayon and watch a cheerful picture appear. With 52 original pictures, seasonal and holiday pages, color-by-answer math and full-color answer keys, it is a complete number-practice coloring book for home and the classroom.
What Hop to Ten color by number for kids does
Each page turns number recognition into a game. Children put a finger on a number, find the same number in the crayon key at the bottom of the page and color the space with that crayon. Spaces without a number stay white, so the rules are simple enough for three-year-olds. The book is organized from easy to harder, so children build confidence first with the numbers 1 to 5, then 6 to 10, then mixed numbers and finally simple addition and subtraction.
Who it is for
- Preschool, pre-K and kindergarten teachers who need low-prep morning work, math centers, early-finisher pages and sub plans (a one-teacher classroom licence is included).
- Parents and grandparents looking for calm, screen-free number practice for ages 3 to 6.
- Homeschool families who want a gentle number and early math routine with built-in answer keys.
- Tutors, therapists and childcare providers who need quick activities for mixed ages and abilities.
Benefits
- Builds number recognition 1 to 10: children read every number again and again while they color.
- Big spaces for little hands: pictures were designed with large areas and bold outlines, so coloring stays fun instead of frustrating.
- Early math made playful: color-by-answer pages turn sums to 10 and take-away within 10 into a puzzle.
- Color words and fine motor skills: every number is paired with a crayon and a plain color name such as Red, Light Blue or Brown.
- Instant feedback: a full-color finished picture for every page lets children check their own work.

Customizing
