Bo is only learning to count to four, plus, we didn’t have that many dot markers. You can use whatever numbers you want when making your free Christmas color by number pages.

I instructed Bo to dot all the ones with yellow, all the twos with red, all the threes with green, and all the fours with blue.

Instructions

  1. Here is how to design your own Christmas color by number worksheet!

Cut out the shape of a Christmas tree from cardstock paper (white ideally).

I like to draw my trees by making three triangles stack on top of each other in progressively larger sizes (I start at the top). It's easy, and looks pretty good!

Write the numbers that you want to use for your dot marker Christmas tree on the tree outline.

Write the code for the color by number worksheet at the top of the page indicating which number should be which color.

If desired, you can laminate the Christmas tree so you can reuse it over and over.
