Multiplication Color by Number Worksheets
Last Updated: September 21, 2026 by the Homemade Gifts Coloring Team
It's hard enough getting your kids and students to grasp multiplication for the first time. But how do you get them to practice? While practicing multiplication charts is one of the best ways to make sure that kids develop a firm and comprehensive grasp of their times tables, they're often so dry it can be hard to keep students motivated. Multiplication color by number printables offer a supplemental practice that makes it fun for kids to develop their mental math.
Color by number multiplication worksheets get kids away from the boring worksheets and multiplication tables, while giving them a fun coloring project to test their new mental math skills. Print them for your class or for at home practice, and don't forget to give them plenty of time to color each design to their hearts's content.
Multiplication Color by Number
We've separated our multiplication color by number worksheets by focus numbers to help students hone their memorization of particular sums. Multiplying by numbers like sevens, eights, and twelves are known to be difficult, while fives and twos often fall on the easier side. Grab whichever numbers your students need to learn and start them with fun math practice.
These printables are for personal, non-commercial use only.
Why Color to Practice Multiplication?
We've made our color by number multiplication worksheets especially cute and fun so that kids will want to practice with them. Here are a few reasons why you might to integrate fun math practice into their study time.
Kids Can Notice and Fix Their Own Mistakes
Multiplication color by number printables offer students the opportunity to correct and understand what calculations they've gotten right or wrong. Being able to recognize mistakes and correct their own work is an important part of mastery.
It's a Hands-On Activity for Learning Math
Numbers are abstractions, and mental math is the manipulation of abstractions. This is why it can be tough for some kids to learn at first. While you can teach addition and subtraction with physical objects, such as counting beans, multiplication can work with numbers that are too large or cumbersome for these demonstrations to be effective.
Sometimes young memories respond well if they associate a particular times table to a particular instance of practice. Even without them trying too hard, the act of coloring can help build associations in their minds with specific multiplication products.
It's a Fun and Creative Practice
Math feels particularly impersonal for students to learn. It has correct, objective answers (which can offer their own confidence and affirmation), and there's often no storytelling for students to grasp onto. In this case, coloring allows them to add a little of themselves into the process of doing math, such as their own favorite colors, their own tastes, and in the case of our multiplication color by number worksheets, a cute character as well!
