Looking for some cool number 8 coloring pages for your kids or students? You are in the right place! I have some great ideas that will help everyone learn this curvy number while having a lot of fun with their crayons.
Creative ways to use number 8 coloring pages
The number eight is really special because it looks like two circles sitting on top of each other. It’s like a never ending loop! When you give kids a coloring sheet, it’s not just about staying in the lines. It’s about making the number come alive.
One thing I like to do is use different textures. You can glue beans or glitter on the number after you color it. This helps kids feel the shape of the number with their fingers. It’s a good way to remember how to write it later. Below are some themes you can use to make your own designs or find online.
Tips for printing your pages
Once opened, you will then be able to find more pages that are all free to download and print! All these PDF coloring pages are on standard US letter size, but they also fit perfectly onto A4 paper sizes! Enjoy! I suggest using thicker paper if you are going to use markers, so the ink don’t bleed through the back.
