Print gives a blank worksheet, and the colored answer key on page 2 when that box is ticked. Colors you fill in on screen stay on screen. By keyboard: the arrow keys move around the grid, Enter colors a square, typing an answer colors it by that answer and Backspace clears it.

How it works

For a summer color by number addition sheet, each square holds a sum and its answer names a crayon. The Lifeguard tower opens with 64 simple sums, none over 10: a red hut on brown stilts over yellow sand.

Simple addition first, then more

The page opens on sums within 10. In More options, Quick settings steps up to Add within 20, mixes in subtraction with Add and subtract within 10, or switches to Subtract within 20 for a summer subtraction color by number sheet.

Beach, lake and evening

Eight pictures in three sets: a lifeguard tower, a cooler, a sunscreen bottle and swim fins; a fishing bobber and a canoe; a barbecue grill and a jar of fireflies. Tap one under Pictures in More options, or press New picture for another at random.

  • The Swim fins and the Barbecue grill take 2 crayons on the easy grid; the Lifeguard tower and the Cooler take 4.
  • Only 45 different sums fit within 10, so a sheet of 64 squares uses some of them twice.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures of summer things, drawn square by square for this page on 8 by 8 and 12 by 12 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. The descriptions say what is drawn and state no other fact. The square and color counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
