Number 4 With a Kite Coloring Page

The numeral 4 is the odd one out in this set, because it is the only digit built entirely from straight lines and corners. Every other number on these pages curves somewhere. That makes it a good one to trace slowly, and a good one to talk about, since a child who notices the difference is paying attention to shape rather than just copying. Point at each corner in turn while your child traces it, because counting the corners is an easy way to make the shape stick. A simple kite floats beside the number with a long curling tail and plain diamond panels, and those panels take colour well because each one is enclosed and easy to finish. Nothing on the sheet is shaded or filled in solid black. Download the free PDF, print it on US Letter paper, and move on to the number 5 sheet when your child is ready.
