Check Out Your Free Printable Valentines Day Color By Number Packet!

Okay, let’s get to the good stuff. What’s inside this Valentine’s Day Color by Number packet that makes it so special? I’m glad you asked!

I’ve packed it full of sweet, festive designs that are sure to capture the hearts (pun intended) of your kiddos.

1. Teddy Bear Hugging a Valentine Heart

First up, we’ve got an adorable teddy bear giving a big ol’ hug to a heart.

This little guy is perfect for young children and kindergarten students who might be new to color by number activities. The numbers are nice and big, and the design is simple enough that even the tiniest of hands can have so much fun coloring!

At the top of the page you’ll see a color code to help your young learner choose the correct color for each space.

2. Hearts Galore

Next, we’ve got a whole bunch of hearts swirling in a Valentine scene.

You may notice that each heart is a different color.

As your child is completing this math activity, ask her which heart is her favorite.

Does she know someone who would prefer another heart? Is there a color she thinks wouldn’t work for Valentine’s Day?

3. Box of Chocolate Candies

Who doesn’t love chocolate on Valentine’s Day?

This printable features a classic heart-shaped box of chocolates, just waiting to be colored in.

It’s also great way to talk to your kids about the history of Valentine’s Day.

Did you know that giving chocolates in heart shaped boxes on Valentine’s Day dates back to 1861?.

4. “I Love You” Valentine

This one’s a little more straightforward, but sometimes simple is best. It’s a classic valentine that says “I love you!” in big, bold letters.

Your kiddos can color it in and then give it to someone special—maybe a sibling, a grandparent, or even you!

These free Valentine’s Day color by number pages are the perfect activity for spreading the love!

5. Heart-Shaped Balloons

The last of these color by number pictures is a bunch of heart-shaped balloons floating in the air.

Who wouldn’t want to receive a bouquet of balloons from someone special? 

For best results, have your child color each of the crayons at the top of the page in a the appropriate color.

Take away the rest of the crayons so that the child only has the correct colors to pick from.

Why Are Color by Number Pictures Great For Kids?

Color by Number activities are such a fun way for your younger children (and older kids!) to get a little extra practice with basic skills.

First off, they’re not just about coloring (although that’s a huge plus, especially if you’ve got a kiddo who loves to break out the box of crayons).

These number worksheets are sneaky little educational activities in disguise. Yep, while your kids are busy deciding if that heart should be pink or red, they’re also working on their number recognition skills, fine motor skills, and even a bit of early math.

These Valentine’s Day color activities are also a great way to reinforce color recognition. Your kiddos will practice following a color code to reveal mystery pictures that will get them excited about the upcoming holiday.

And let’s be honest, anything that is zero prep and helps kids learn is a win in my book.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Morning Warm-Up: Start the day off right by letting your kiddos color while you sip your coffee and mentally prepare for the day ahead. It’s a great way to ease into learning without diving straight into the hard stuff.
• Math Connection: Since these are number worksheets, why not use them to reinforce some basic math skills? You can talk about the different numbers, count how many of each color they need, or even create simple addition problems based on the numbers in the picture. They’re perfect for February math centers, 1st grade math, 2nd grade math, and even as a Valentine’s Day multiplication review.
• Art Time: Use these printables as part of your regular art curriculum. Talk about color words, shading, and how different colors can make us feel. You can even encourage your kids to get creative and mix up the colors a bit—who says a teddy bear can’t be purple?
• Valentine’s Day Party: If you’re planning a Valentine’s Day party (even if it’s just a party for your own kids), these free printable Valentine’s Day color by number pages make a great activity. Set up a coloring station, play some festive music, and let the kids create their masterpieces while you enjoy a few minutes of peace.

Extra Tips For Using These Valentine’s Day Color by Number Printables:

• Stock Up on Supplies: Make sure you’ve got plenty of crayons, colored pencils, or markers on hand. There’s nothing worse than a kiddo running out of red crayon in the middle of coloring a heart! (And if you want to avoid any sibling squabbles, it might be worth getting each kid their own set.)
• Print Extras: Print out a few extra copies of each design. Trust me, once your kids get started, they’re going to want to color more than one. Plus, it’s always good to have a backup in case of spills, rips, or those inevitable “oops” moments.
• Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. These free printable Valentine’s Day color by number pages are a great starting point, but you can take them in so many different directions. Add some glitter, cut them out and turn them into cards, or even laminate them to create reusable coloring sheets. The possibilities are endless!
