Digital example: Long blue pencil and short coral pencil with tan wood, gray tips and pink erasers.

1. Blue — long barrel
2. Coral — short barrel
3. Tan — exposed wood
4. Dark gray — tips
5. Pink — erasers

Fill the long pencil barrel blue.
Color the short barrel coral.
Use light tan between each tip and the scalloped edge.
Fill both pointed tips dark gray.
Color the rounded erasers pink; keep the narrow bands white.

The bottoms line up and the lengths remain easy to compare. Leave the background white.

Compare & Match

Compare sizes and lengths in elephant, sunflower, block-tower and toy-train scenes, or find matching patterns on mittens, cups and socks. The fish and pencil pages leave more space around the main shapes; the garden and home scenes offer smaller details. Try giving each matching pair the same colors.

Learning & Discovery

Color outline letters A–Z, digits 0–9 and pictures with shapes, repeating patterns or matching pairs. Choose a large letter or a simple counting picture, or explore more detailed garden and classroom scenes. On paper, count the objects, find a matching pair or use colors to highlight a repeating pattern.

Minimalist

Animal outlines, fruit, everyday objects and simple symbols leave room for your own colors and patterns. Compare the previews: some pictures have one broad shape, while others include narrow straps, strings or small markings. Download a picture to print, or save it as a PDF.
