Caterpillar Poking Out of a Big Apple, Color by Number

Caterpillar Poking Out of a Big Apple, Color by Number coloring page

Coloring guide

A smiling caterpillar with two antennae pokes out of a big apple, its round body curled in a spiral shape near the fruit's side. Above the apple, a small butterfly flutters with two wing sections. Each part is marked with a number, and the key at the bottom says 1 is light green, 2 is green, 3 is yellow, and 4 is red. The caterpillar's head and several body segments are numbered 1 and 2, the curled section has a 3, and the large apple carries a 4. The butterfly wings use 1 and 2 as well. This page works well for young kids learning to match numbers to colors. Try using two shades of green crayon or marker so children can see how light green and green sit next to each other on the caterpillar's body, then talk about how the apple stands out in red.
