Questions and answers

Which sheet works as a 1st grade candle color by numbers page?

The Candle with holly has the fewest squares, 63, and takes 4 crayons. The Cupcake with a candle and the Pillar candle on a plate also take 4, and the other five take 5, so no easy sheet has a number above 5.

Is there a birthday candle to color by number?

Yes, two. The Birthday candle is one blue-striped candle in purple frosting, and the Cupcake with a candle has brown frosting and a striped wrapper. For a cake slice and balloons, see birthday color by number.

Is there a Christmas candle color by number?

Three sheets suit December and name no holiday: the Candle with holly, a red candle in green leaves with red berries, the Candle in a window, glowing against a blue wall, and the Candle lantern in a purple sky.

Do the candle sheets print on one page?

Yes. A sheet with its crayon key fits one Letter or A4 page. The colored answer key prints after it on page 2; uncheck Answer key on page 2 in More options if you want the sheet only.
