Ice Cream Color by Number Worksheet Pack – EYFS / KS1 Number Recognition, Fine Motor & Calm Activity

his ice-cream–themed colour-by-number pack provides a set of engaging, calming worksheets designed to support early number recognition and fine motor development. Each page features a different ice-cream illustration divided into numbered sections, and children follow a colour key to bring the picture to life. The bright, child-friendly designs make these worksheets ideal for Nursery, Reception (EYFS) and Year 1, as well as SEND learners who benefit from structured, low-demand tasks.

Across all three pages , children work with the numbers 1 to 7, each linked to a specific colour shown clearly on the right-hand side.

Page 1 features a popsicle design with numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 placed in different segments of the picture.

Page 2 includes an ice-cream cone with a cherry on top, again using the full seven-colour key.

Page 3 shows a cup-style ice-cream with a spoon, offering additional opportunities for careful colouring and number recognition.

These worksheets reinforce key early maths skills including numeral recognition, matching numbers to a key, following instructions and strengthening hand–eye coordination. The clear outlines and large colouring areas are especially suitable for younger children and SEND pupils who need accessible fine motor practice.

This pack works well for early finisher trays, morning work, calm-down activities, wet-play lessons, or as part of a summer or ice-cream themed unit. It can be printed or used digitally on iPads or learning platforms like Showbie, making it flexible for a range of classroom settings.

Teachers appreciate these sheets for being low-prep, engaging and highly supportive of both maths and fine motor development. The consistent colour key and familiar theme help children stay motivated and focused.
