If you’re looking for a fun and easy indoor activity to print for the kids this summer break- here’s three free printable color by numbers with a fun summer theme!

These summer color by number worksheets are such a fun activity to see what summer vacation scenes will pop up as you color in the abstract shapes in each different color. They’re a the perfect activity for a rainy day, or when your kiddos need a break from the summer heat or are for when you’re just dreaming of that summer season. 

One of the things we love to do every year is create a summer bucket list. I’ve created some printable summer bucket list templates over the years and those activities we add in there are always big and fun and almost always… outdoors!

But sometimes it’s rainy. Or sometimes it’s a heat wave and you were outside all morning. It’s always a great idea to have some easy indoor summer activities on hand, especially for younger kids and any kiddo you’d like to cut down on screen time.These printable color by number summer coloring pages are just that! 

I had so much fun creating these summer days color by number printables- I’ve never actually made any before so it was fun figuring out how to disguise the initial design I drew with extra lines. My kids were looking over my shoulder almost the whole time and approve- they’ve requested I print them off for them to do so I’m feeling pretty good about sharing them with you here!

Since this is a first for me- I would love your feedback! Are there other versions of these number coloring pages you’d love to see? They were truly so much fun to create 🙂 

This color by number bundle has three sheets to choose from with different summer scenes that reveal themselves as you color the shapes in according to the numbers under the picture.

Today I’m sharing a fun set of free camping  coloring pages with you! This set is so playful and fun and a really easy set to sit down and color. Last year I created some camping party invitations and I have really loved the playful little tent that I created for that, so I was excited to recreate that design and turn it into a camp coloring page along with some other camping pictures to make a little set we will pack into our camping bin to take along on our next camping trip! 

Speaking of that camping bin… check out my free printable camping planner which includes a camping pack list you can fill out and keep in there!

I am envisioning these as a little bit of a quiet morning activity for our happy campers (both young kids and older kids!) and a great way to keep them content a bit longer in the mornings before they wake us up to take them down to the beach! Ha!

It’s also a fun activity to pull out if you get hit with some less than ideal weather and are curled up in  cozy tents to hide from the rain or in  grandma’s trailer waiting out the wind to get another tube ride in.

And as for me? Well I’m loving the idea of coloring these with a glass of wine under the starry skies or around a roaring campfire, taking on that tent coloring page with some alcohol markers. I also recently purchased these glitter markers which I think will be so pretty for the darker blue in those night skies.

Today I’m sharing a fun set of free rainbow coloring pages with you! I illustrated these a few years back for my twins’ seventh birthday party. That was the last year they agreed to have a joint birthday party and being boy/girl twins, honestly I’m impressed they lasted that long 😉

The theme they agreed on that year was ‘rainbow’ and it was an easy going outdoor party with treats and lots of trampoline time with their friends. Their ideas are much more involved now! You can see a sneak peek of this party right here, or in my blog post on my sister-blog all about affordable kids party ideas.

Today we’re sharing this set of free printable back to school bookmarks for home reading or… well, any kind of reading. Not only are they modern with hand lettered quotes and illustrated books, they are perfect for coloring in thanks to the black and white design.

I created 5 different bookmarks to choose from in this printable. All 5 free printable book marks will print on one page… four with quotes about reading and one with just some playful illustrations of books to color in. If you recognize those illustrations, good eye!

These are the books I drew for my free printable reading tracker. What a perfect pair 😉 On that note… you could definitely use the books as a reading tracker, coloring as you go! You can see more about different ways to use a reading tracker here.

You could print these off and leave them plain rectangles or get fancy with rounded edges and hole punch space for a crafty tassel. If you do this, I definitely recommend laminating for longevity of your DIY bookmark!
