Big Bubble Number 2022 With Spiky Thorns

The year 2022 fills the page in tall, chunky outlined numbers that overlap each other. Each digit is drawn with a double line, so there is a thin white band between the outer edge and the inner shape. Small pointed spikes, a bit like thorns, are tucked along the inside edges of the numbers. They show up on the curves of both twos, along the rounded zero, and near the flat bottoms of the last two digits. The zero is a tall oval with a narrow oval cut out of its middle and sits behind the neighboring twos. The background is plain white, so there is lots of room to color. Try a different color family for each digit, then use a contrasting shade for the spikes so they pop. The wide double outlines also make it easy for younger kids to practice coloring in the lines. This page works well for a New Year banner or a classroom countdown display.
