Additions up to 30, subtractions, and the first times tables (×2, ×5): exactly the CE1 maths curriculum. A complete colouring page includes more than 150 small calculations done without realising it — try to get that with a classic worksheet.
A finished colouring page is a successful drawing and a whole page of correct calculations. To continue with the same programme: the free CE1 holiday workbook and the interactive CE1 exercises.

A4 format, black and white is enough — the colour is added by the child.
Square by square, the hidden drawing appears — only if the calculations are correct.
Everything you need to know
Yes, 100%. It's a free PDF to download and print immediately, no email and no registration required. The solutions are included at the end.
For CE1 (7-8 years old): additions and subtractions up to 30, times tables of 2 and 5.
Each square of the drawing contains a calculation. The child solves it, looks for the result in the colour legend, and colours the square. When all squares are coloured, the hidden drawing appears — and it can only appear if the calculations are correct.
This is the great advantage of magic colouring: a mistake is immediately visible because a square stands out in the drawing. The child corrects themselves without anyone having to point out the error. The solutions at the end of the PDF allow verification.
