Fun multiplication coloring activity for kids with a hot air balloon theme.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have a hot air balloon coloring page with multiplication problems inside different shapes (balloon sections, clouds, stars). At the bottom, there are colored circles with numbers under them:
18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90

Each color corresponds to one of these numbers. Our job is to multiply the numbers in each shape and then match the answer to the correct color.

Let’s go through each multiplication problem and calculate the result:

Balloon Sections (from top to bottom, left to right):

- 9x6 = 54
- 8x9 = 72
- 9x10 = 90
- 9x8 = 72
- 10x9 = 90
- 8x9 = 72
- 9x10 = 90
- 9x8 = 72
- 7x9 = 63
- 9x9 = 81
- 9x7 = 63
- 9x9 = 81
- 7x9 = 63
- 9x9 = 81
- 9x7 = 63
- 9x8 = 72
- 8x9 = 72
- 9x5 = 45
- 9x8 = 72
- 5x9 = 45
- 8x9 = 72
- 5x9 = 45
- 9x4 = 36
- 3x9 = 27
- 4x9 = 36
- 4x9 = 36
- 9x3 = 27
- 6x9 = 54
- 3x9 = 27
- 9x2 = 18
- 9x6 = 54
- 6x9 = 54
- 9x6 = 54
- 9x10 = 90 ← basket

Clouds:

- Top-left cloud: 9x6 = 54
- Top-right cloud: 9x6 = 54
- Bottom-left cloud: 6x9 = 54
- Bottom-right cloud: 6x9 = 54

---

Stars:

All stars say either 2x9 or 9x2 → both equal 18

There are 6 stars total — all should be colored for 18

---

Now let’s group answers by number so we know which color to use:

- 18 → yellow (stars)
- 27 → red (e.g., 3x9, 9x3)
- 36 → green (e.g., 4x9, 9x4)
- 45 → dark green (e.g., 5x9, 9x5)
- 54 → cyan (e.g., 6x9, 9x6)
- 63 → blue (e.g., 7x9, 9x7)
- 72 → pink (e.g., 8x9, 9x8)
- 81 → purple (e.g., 9x9)
- 90 → orange (e.g., 9x10, 10x9)

✔ All calculations checked and verified.

Final Answer:
Color each section based on its multiplication result using the key at the bottom:
- 18 → Yellow
- 27 → Red
- 36 → Green
- 45 → Dark Green
- 54 → Cyan
- 63 → Blue
- 72 → Pink
- 81 → Purple
- 90 → Orange
