Number 12 Coloring Page: 12 Hearts (Free Printable)

Twelve happy hearts are arranged in three neat rows beneath a large outline 12 and the bubble word twelve. Each heart has bright eyes, little eyebrows, cheek circles, and a wide smiling mouth. The picture gives children a sweet, concrete set for practicing the numeral 12, the number word twelve, counting, and one-to-one correspondence. The 1 and 2 at the top are big and open, and the heart shapes are broad enough for simple coloring by preschoolers. The faces, cheeks, and mouth shapes provide smaller details for children who want a little more challenge. This page suits ages 3 to 6, especially for classroom math centers, morning work, or a calm fine motor activity. Ask children to trace the 1 and the 2, say twelve, then count each heart once from left to right. They can color one row at a time, make a repeating color pattern, or count six hearts and six more hearts to make twelve. The rows also help adults model careful counting without skipping.
