Reindeer Color by Number Pages with 6 or 7 Colors

Pink for the inner ears is the only color the hard reindeer adds, and that one change renumbers most of the key. Both pages show the same standing reindeer with antlers, a collar and bell and four hooves. Both number the same 20 parts.

Medium, 6 colors, ages 6 to 8

Brown, number 1, covers the head, the outer ears, the body and the legs. Peach, number 2, goes on the antlers and the round chest. Red, number 3, fills both the inner ears and the nose. Gray, number 4, is for the four hooves, green, number 5, for the collar and yellow, number 6, for the bell.

Hard, 7 colors, ages 9 to 12

Here the inner ears turn pink and the numbers shift: brown 1, peach 2, gray hooves 3, green collar 4, pink inner ears 5, a red nose 6 and a yellow bell 7. A child who has done the medium page should read this key fresh instead of coloring from memory. There is no easy page. Easy pages stop at four colors, and this reindeer needs six even with the nose and ears sharing red.

Numbers beside the ears

Each outer ear is only a narrow brown edge around its inner ear. That is too thin to hold a number, so its 1 sits in the white space beside the ear, with a short line running to a dot on the brown. Line and dot are small, and they come out clearly when the A4 or US Letter file prints at 100 percent. The eyes and the fluffy tail have no number and stay white, and the pupils are already black. Each PDF has the finished reindeer in color on page two.
