How it works
Each square of this spring multiplication color by number grid holds one fact, and its product points to a crayon in the key. The Beehive comes first: 64 facts from the 2 to 10 tables, in yellow and orange bands.

Narrow the tables
More options, below the grid, holds the tables. Times tables 2, 3 and 4 and Times tables 6 to 9 are one press each under Quick settings. For any other mix, check single tables from 1 to 12 under Times tables.
Spring color by number math beyond times tables
Add within 20 and Add and subtract within 20 are the other two quick settings, so the same garden pictures print as a spring color by number addition sheet or as mixed practice.
- The Trowel is the only easy picture that needs 5 crayons; the Crocus and the Picket fence need 3.
- The Garden gnome's beard and the Picket fence are white squares: they hold facts too, and the key says leave white.
Questions and answers
Does a spring addition and subtraction color by number fit on one grid?
Yes. Add and subtract within 20 sits under Quick settings in More options. Sums and differences share the grid, and the sheet is titled Color by answer.
How do I get a spring color by number subtraction worksheet?
Set Problems to Subtraction in More options, then pick the largest number, 10, 20, 50 or 100, under Adding and subtracting. Every square then holds a difference.
Do the facts go up to 12 × 12?
Yes. The second factor runs from 1 to 12, so with the 12 table checked the largest fact is 12 × 12. The page opens on tables 2 to 10, where the largest is 10 × 12.
Can two groups color the same picture?
Yes. New problems keeps the Beehive and writes new facts in its squares. Print each version: its own colored key follows on page 2.
