About this coloring page
A printable color-by-number mystery picture worksheet with a hidden cactus. Solve the multiplication fact (times tables to 10) in each square and color it by the product.

This page by the numbers
The picture has 195 numbered squares on a 13 x 15 grid, colored with 6 crayon colors. Light blue (number 6) fills the most squares: 110 of them. Yellow (number 80) is used the least, with 1. Every answer is a number from 6 to 80, so each answer matches one color in the key.
- 6 = light blue: 110 squares
- 15 = green: 57 squares
- 28 = orange: 17 squares
- 45 = red: 7 squares
- 54 = pink: 3 squares
- 80 = yellow: 1 square
Coloring ideas
- Skip-count out loud to check any fact you are not sure about.
- Follow the color key exactly to see the mystery picture appear.
- Use markers for bold, even squares.
- Color one number at a time: find all the 1s, then all the 2s, and so on.
