Letters, numbers and shapes: coloring pages that carry a bit of curriculum. A child colouring the letter B while saying the sound is learning it more slowly and more thoroughly than a flashcard allows.

Letters, Numbers & Shapes coloring books

Letters, numbers, shapes and words

Alphabet pages usually pair the letter with an object that starts with it. Number pages pair the digit with that many things to count. There are also shape pages, tracing sheets, simple addition worksheets and sight word pages.

Slower than a flashcard, and better for it

The value of colouring a letter is time. A flashcard is over in a second; a letter that takes four minutes to fill in gets looked at properly. For a child who is not retaining letter shapes, this is often what shifts it.
