Diwali Color by Number
Free Diwali color by number worksheets. Solve addition facts to 18, color each square by its answer, and choose from ten Diwali pictures.
Choose a picture
Solve the sums, color the squares, and a Diwali picture appears. There are ten Diwali pictures to choose from, shown finished in the gallery above the sheet, so you can see what the sheet will make before you print. Every square holds an addition fact with a sum up to 18, and a key at the top lists which answers get which color.
Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated by families in many countries and falls on a date that moves each year, so these sheets are written to print whenever you need them. They suit a classroom that is marking the festival, or a family who would like a themed page to do together.
The key lists exact answers rather than ranges, so each square has to be worked out, not guessed, and no answer belongs to two colors. Each print deals a fresh set of problems into the picture you chose. Set Pages for a stack of different sheets, and tick Answer key to get the finished, colored-in Diwali picture with every answer written in its square.

Frequently asked questions
Which pictures are in the Diwali set?
There are ten Diwali pictures, shown finished in the gallery above the worksheet. Click one to choose it and the sheet below changes to that picture. The Picture list in the settings offers the same ten, among every other holiday's.
Can I use a Diwali sheet in a class that is learning about the festival?
Yes. The sums are plain addition to 18, so the page can sit beside a lesson about the festival without competing with it. Pick a picture from the gallery above the sheet, and print an answer page to check the finished picture.
Can I print a Diwali sheet without a color printer?
Yes. The key names every color in words as well as showing a swatch, so a black and white printout of a Diwali sheet works as well as a color one. The picture appears when the squares are colored in.
