Little Red Riding Hood is a story filled with adventure, mystery, and important lessons, making it a favorite for generations.

two printed pages from the Little Red Riding Hood themed color by number worksheets

Kids love following along as Little Red sets off through the forest, meets the wolf, and learns to be cautious while on her journey. Now, children can bring the story to life in a fun and creative way with a color-by-number activity that helps them practice numbers and colors while strengthening fine motor skills.

This printable includes five coloring pages featuring familiar characters and scenes from the story. Each page has a numbered color code at the top, guiding children to fill in the pictures correctly. The set includes images of Little Red Riding Hood, Grandmother, Grandmother’s house, a basket, and the wolf in disguise. With different levels of difficulty, some pages use just three colors while others include up to seven, making it perfect for preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

Color-by-number activities offer more than just a fun way to fill in a picture. They help young children recognize numbers, strengthen hand-eye coordination, and improve focus. Since each section is matched to a specific color, kids also practice following directions and recognizing color words.

For those still learning to read, parents or teachers can help by reading the color names aloud or using color bookmarks as a reference. To make it even easier, younger children can be given only the crayons they need so they can focus on finding the numbers and coloring the right sections.

Pairing this activity with a read-aloud of Little Red Riding Hood makes it even more exciting. Kids can color the wolf’s sneaky disguise after hearing about his trick, or bring Grandmother’s house to life with bright colors.

Once the pages are complete, parents and teachers can ask questions about the colors used, the numbers matched to each color, and what is happening in the picture. This turns a simple coloring activity into a storytelling experience that helps children remember the story and its characters.
