This coloring page features a large bubble number for young children to fill in, helping them become familiar with its shape. They can color within the lines or create their own patterns inside the number, making it a fun way to reinforce recognition of the number’s form.

In this surprisingly popular version, children engage in an activity that helps them attempt to remember the number’s form and shape. A model is presented on the top-right, and children must then try to find it within the balloons below. Each time they identify a balloon with the number, they must color it. This version is targeted for a Pre-K audience.

This version contains a very large bubble number which takes up nearly the whole page. It’s designed for very beginners, but has been used by readers as a poster on Pre-K and Kindergarten walls as well. If you use it as a worksheet, encourage the child to trace the lines in the order suggested by the arrows, then trace the word at the bottom under the letter.

In this version, I’ve provided a range of fun number activities, including tracing within the bubble number (which also contains stroke instructions to help children understand the most efficient way to form the stroeks), as well as writing the full word within large dot tracing letters, and coloring the number of balloons that correspond with our target number.

This version introduces horizontal handwriting lines to guide children in maintaining consistent size and alignment while writing. By tracing the number repeatedly across these lines, children can develop muscle memory and improve their control. Once they’re comfortable with this format, they can progress to versions without tracing aids for more independent practice.

In this version, students practice the number across four lines, with each line containing the horizontal handwriting scaffold. I’ve also included the “color the balloons” exercise seen in the first worksheet on the list, which helps children to understand what the number means in reality.

In this worksheet, children practice both the number and its written word, alternating between tracing the number and spelling the word to reinforce recognition in both forms. Capitalized and lowercase versions of the word are provided for well-rounded practice. Once they finish, children can color the bubble number in the top-right corner as a fun final activity.

This version focuses entirely on the spelling of the word rather than the numerical form. Children write the word in lowercase and capitalized forms across six lines, helping children to develop muscle memory, improve fine motor skills and penmanship, and memorize the spelling. You can also encourage the child to color the balloon at the top in their favorite color.

On this page, students write the number without the faint dots to guide them. However, there are still some supports – the horizontal lines help them to write in uniform size, and the models on the left of the page are provided to guide students.

On this page, students step up to independently writing the word that represents the number. The words are provided as a model at the beginning of each line, and children must use that model when practicing writing the words independently, with no faint dot letters to assist. You can also encourage your children to color the number and its balloon at the top-right once they have finished.
