Color by code activities

57 printable logic and coding pages for Pre-K and kindergarten. Children read a code, then color, dot, trace, move or build to match. Includes color by code, color by number, arrow coding paths, debugging, repeat loops, picture sudoku, if-then rules, double matrix puzzles, patterns, mystery pictures, copy the grid, sorting and sequencing.

Logic and coding pages turn coloring into a thinking game. Each page builds color and shape recognition, visual discrimination, following directions, early logic and coding, and fine motor control. It is also a gentle first step toward reading: children learn that a symbol stands for something and use a key to decode it.

What's included

• Getting Started: a Know Your Colors poster with 12 colors and a picture for each
• Color Codes: caterpillars, umbrellas, flowers, paint the houses, build a roof, flower to pot, and color by number (rainbow, popsicle and bee)
• Shape Codes: raindrop shapes, shape coding, shape clusters, a color and shape path, and 2 mystery pictures
• Patterns: complete the color pattern and the shape pattern (AB, ABC, AABB, ABB, AAB) and circle coding
• Trace by Code: coded pattern tracing, and prewriting and coding
• Coding Paths: follow the code (2 pages), write the code with rocks to avoid (2 pages), debug the code, and repeat loops
• Copy and Build: let's code, dot the boxes, copy the grid, complete the rectangles, colored squares, butterfly symmetry, ice cream coding, and make your own code
• Logic Puzzles: caterpillar sizes, emotion coding, five double matrix puzzles (colors, shapes, fish, arrows and dots), shape sudoku, fruit sudoku, if-then coloring and sort by two rules
• Sort and Sequence: Sort It: Go, Eat or Wear?, What Doesn't Belong?, Things That Go Together, First, Next, Last and Plant a Seed sequence cards
• How to Use guide with tips, a contents page and an answer key

Why parents and teachers love it

• Builds thinking skills: decoding a key, sequencing, debugging, loops, patterns and early logic
• Screen-free coding: arrow codes, bugs and loops teach real coding ideas with paper and crayons
• Grows with your child: from one-step color codes to double matrix puzzles
• Fine motor practice: coloring, dot markers, stickers, tracing and building with sticks
• Low prep: print and go, or laminate pages to reuse with dry-erase markers
• Great for preschool, pre-K and kindergarten, homeschool, morning work, centers and quiet time
