Frog Color by Number on a Lily Pad in 4 Colors
Free frog color by number with a smiling frog on a lily pad: 16 parts in light green, green, yellow and pink for ages 3 to 5, plus a colored answer page.
Choose a level
Two of the light green parts on this frog color by number are too thin to hold their own number. They are the slivers at each shoulder. Each one sits between the head and the back thigh, so its 1 is printed in the white space beside the frog, with a short line that ends in a dot inside the strip. Everything else has its number inside. That makes 16 parts in all, numbered 1 to 4, including the strip of green body that shows under the belly.
A light green frog on a darker pad
Light green, number 1, covers most of the round-faced frog: both raised eye bumps, the head, the two front legs, the back thighs and the webbed back feet. Green, number 2, is only for the notched lily pad. Yellow, number 3, fills the tall belly that runs from under the head down between the front legs. Pink, number 4, goes in the two round cheeks at the ends of the wide smile. It all fits on one easy page for ages 3 to 5.
Eyes and tiny spots
The eyes have no number. They stay white around the black pupils, and a note under the key adds that any tiny unnumbered spot takes the color around it. In the key along the bottom, a swatch and a color name sit beside each number, so a child can match the digit or read the word. The pointer lines and their dots are small marks, so the A4 or US Letter file is worth printing at 100 percent.
Skills practiced & tips
- Color the lily pad first with the darker green, number 2, so the light green frog stands out on top of it.
- Use a clearly lighter green for number 1; it covers eleven parts of the frog.
- Follow the line from each shoulder 1 to its dot to find the two thin strips beside the head.
- Fill the tall yellow belly between the front legs before coloring the legs around it.
- Leave the eyes white around the printed black pupils.
Frog fun facts
- Many frogs blink their eyes down into the head while swallowing, which helps push food toward the throat.
- Glass frogs of Central and South America have see-through skin on their bellies.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): lay out the four crayons and have children set each one on its swatch in the key before they start.
- Kindergarten: talk about the stages from egg to tadpole to frog, then color the frog and name places where frogs live.
- Grade 1: count every 1 on the page together and check the total of eleven against the answer page.

Frequently asked questions
Which four colors does the frog use?
Light green is 1 for the frog's head, eye bumps, legs and feet. Green is 2 for the lily pad, yellow is 3 for the belly and pink is 4 for the cheeks.
What are the two short lines at the shoulders?
Between the head and each back thigh there is a sliver of light green too thin for a number. The 1 for each sliver sits outside the frog, and its line ends in a dot that marks the spot to color.
Why are the eyes blank?
They have no number, and the note under the key says no number means leave white. The pupils are already printed solid black.
Is there a medium or hard frog color by number?
No. The frog needs only four colors, so it comes as one easy page for ages 3 to 5. For more of a challenge, try the 63-dot frog dot to dot or the hard frog maze.
Does the answer page show the shoulder strips colored in?
Yes. Page 2 of each PDF shows the finished frog in color, with the numbers left on so a child can check each part, thin strips included.
