1–20 Count & Color Back to School Activities – Fun Number Coloring Activities for Back to School

The 1–20 Count & Color Back to School Activities worksheet set is a fun and interactive way to introduce number recognition and counting for children in Kindergarten (K), 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and even 5th Grade for foundational review. Designed for Elementary School learners, these worksheets feature school-themed objects like books, pencils, and apples to make learning numbers exciting. Ideal for students in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia, this printable resource allows children to explore numbers 1 through 20 by counting, coloring, and identifying patterns. Each page focuses on one number and includes a matching group of themed objects. Kids point and count aloud while practicing one-to-one correspondence. After counting, children color the objects creatively, with optional challenges such as using specific colors for odd and even numbers or creating fun color patterns. This reinforces early math and fine motor skills in an engaging way. Older students can use the sheets for early finishers, number review, or quiet math centers. This resource also encourages number recognition, counting fluency, and number order when the completed pages are arranged from 1 to 20. A great tool for home, school, or remote learning, these activities build math confidence while keeping kids creatively engaged.
