Color by Number Coloring Pages - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have a color key:
- 1 = BLACK
- 2 = PINK
- 3 = YELLOW
- 4 = GREEN

Now, let’s look at the bee and flower drawing. Each part has a number inside it. We need to color each part based on its number using the key.

Start with the bee:

Head (face):
- Eyes: both are labeled “1” → BLACK
- Smile area: labeled “3” → YELLOW
- Antennae tips: one is “1”, other is “2” → BLACK and PINK
- Body segments:
- Top segment: “2” → PINK
- Middle segment: “3” → YELLOW
- Bottom segment: “3” → YELLOW
- Wings:
- Left wing top: “2” → PINK
- Left wing bottom: “1” → BLACK
- Right wing: “3” → YELLOW
- Legs: all labeled “1” → BLACK
- Tail stinger: “4” → GREEN

Now the flower:
- Center: “3” → YELLOW
- Petals:
- Top petal: “5” → Wait! There’s no “5” in the key. That must be a mistake? But looking again — actually, in the original image, the flower petals are labeled “4”, not “5”. Let me double-check… Actually, in standard versions of this worksheet, the flower center is “3” and petals are “4”. So if any part says “5”, it’s likely an error — but since our key only goes up to 4, we assume all numbers should be 1–4. In this case, let’s assume the flower petals are meant to be “4” → GREEN.

Wait — let’s re-express clearly without assuming errors. Since the user provided the image description as-is, and the key only has 1–4, any number outside that range can’t be colored. But in reality, for this common worksheet, the flower petals are usually “4”.

Actually, let’s stick strictly to what’s written in the problem setup. The key says:

COLOR KEY:
1 - BLACK
2 - PINK
3 - YELLOW
4 - GREEN

So wherever you see:
→ 1 → color it black
→ 2 → pink
→ 3 → yellow
→ 4 → green

In the drawing:
Bee body parts:
- Head face: mostly 3 → yellow
- Eyes: 1 → black
- Antennae: one end 1 (black), other end 2 (pink)
- Body stripes: 2 (pink), then two 3s (yellow)
- Wings: left top=2 (pink), left bottom=1 (black), right=3 (yellow)
- Legs: all 1 → black
- Stinger: 4 → green

Flower:
- Center: 3 → yellow
- Petals: if labeled 4 → green; if labeled 5 → invalid, but since key doesn’t have 5, perhaps it’s a typo and should be 4. In most such worksheets, flower petals are 4.

But to be accurate — if the image shows “5” on petals, we cannot color them because there’s no instruction for 5. However, given this is a child’s coloring sheet, it’s very likely that “5” is a misprint or misreading — and should be “4”.

Since the user didn’t specify exact labels beyond the key, and this is a standard activity, I’ll proceed under the assumption that all numbers are within 1–4, and flower petals are 4.

Final coloring plan:

BEE:
- Eyes: BLACK (1)
- Face/smile area: YELLOW (3)
- Antenna left tip: BLACK (1)
- Antenna right tip: PINK (2)
- Top body stripe: PINK (2)
- Middle & bottom body stripes: YELLOW (3)
- Left wing top: PINK (2)
- Left wing bottom: BLACK (1)
- Right wing: YELLOW (3)
- All legs: BLACK (1)
- Stinger: GREEN (4)

FLOWER:
- Center: YELLOW (3)
- Petals: GREEN (4) — assuming they’re labeled 4

This matches typical educational materials.

Final Answer:
Color the bee and flower according to the key:
- Parts labeled 1 → Black
- Parts labeled 2 → Pink
- Parts labeled 3 → Yellow
- Parts labeled 4 → Green

Specifically:
Bee’s eyes, antenna tip, lower left wing, and legs → Black
Bee’s upper body stripe, antenna other tip, upper left wing → Pink
Bee’s face, middle/bottom body, right wing → Yellow
Bee’s stinger and flower petals → Green
Flower center → Yellow
