15+ Letter N Printables: Free & Easy Print! - The Simple Homeschooler - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

The task says:
“Only color the things that start with the N sound.”

That means we need to look at each picture and ask:
→ Does the name of this thing begin with the letter “N” or make the “n” sound at the beginning?

Let’s check each one:

1. Nurse – Yes! Starts with “N”. ✔ Color it.
2. Sun – No, starts with “S”. ✘ Don’t color.
3. Ninja – Yes! Starts with “N”. ✔ Color it.
4. Mosquito – Wait… actually, looking closely — is that a mosquito? Or maybe a gnat? But gnats start with “G”, even though they’re silent. Hmm… but in most kids’ worksheets, if it looks like a flying bug and they want an “N” word, it might be meant to be a night moth? Actually — wait — let’s think again. The drawing shows wings and big eyes — could it be a moth? Moth starts with “M”. Not “N”. So probably NOT. ✘ Don’t color.
→ *Actually, hold on — sometimes these drawings are tricky. Let me double-check all.*

Wait — let’s list them clearly:

Top row:
- Nurse → N → YES
- Sun → S → NO
- Ninja → N → YES
- Insect (looks like a fly/mosquito) → M or F → NO

Middle row:
- Narwhal → N → YES (it’s the whale with a horn!)
- Big dotted “N n” → This is the letter itself — not a thing to color based on sound, just part of the worksheet. Probably don’t color unless told — but instruction says “things that start with N sound”, so skip.
- Napkin? Or paper airplane? Looks like folded paper — maybe “note”? But no — it’s drawn as a triangle shape — likely meant to be a napkin? Napkin starts with N → YES? Wait — actually, looking again — it’s more like a paper airplane? Airplane starts with A. Or maybe it’s a tent? Tent starts with T. Hmm…

Wait — let’s re-express: Maybe it’s a net? Like a fishing net? Drawn as a triangle with lines — possible. Net starts with N → YES.

But actually — common items for “N” in preschool worksheets: nurse, ninja, narwhal, nest, nail polish, necklace, etc.

Bottom row:
- Hands putting on nail polish → Nail polish → starts with “N” → YES ✔
- Vase → V → NO ✘
- Nest with birds → Nest → starts with “N” → YES ✔
- Paperclip? Or ring? Looks like a ring or loop — maybe “necklace”? But it’s drawn as a single loop — possibly a ring? Ring starts with R. Or maybe it’s a noose? No, too dark. More likely — it’s a paperclip? Still P. Or perhaps it’s meant to be a nail? Like a fingernail? But it’s outlined alone — hmm.

Wait — last item: It’s a simple outline of what looks like a fingernail or maybe a ring. But in context — since we have “nail polish” above, maybe this is meant to be a nail? As in fingernail? That would start with “N”.

BUT — let’s stick to clear ones first.

Let’s list only the definite “N” starters:

✔ Nurse
✔ Ninja
✔ Narwhal
✔ Nail polish (hands applying it)
✔ Nest

What about the insect? If it’s a gnat, technically starts with G, but pronounced with silent G — still not “N”. So no.

What about the folded paper? If it’s a napkin, yes — but it doesn’t really look like one. Could be a note? Note starts with N — but usually notes are rectangular. This is triangular. Maybe it’s a kite? Kite starts with K. No.

Actually — upon second thought — many such worksheets include “net” as a triangle-shaped object. Let’s assume it’s a net → starts with N → YES.

And the last one — the loop — if it’s a ring, no. But if it’s meant to represent a nail (as in hardware), then yes. But it’s drawn vertically —更像是一个回形针或戒指。

Wait — another idea: Could it be a nose? No, doesn’t look like it.

Perhaps it’s best to go with only the obvious ones.

Final decision — color these:

- Nurse
- Ninja
- Narwhal
- Nail polish (the hands doing it)
- Nest

That’s 5 items.

Is there a sixth? What about the big “N n”? The instruction says “color the things that start with the N sound” — the letters themselves aren’t “things” in that sense — they’re the focus of the lesson, but not objects to color based on their own name. So skip.

So total to color: 5 pictures.

But let’s confirm once more:

Pictures from left to right, top to bottom:

Row 1:
1. Nurse → N → COLOR
2. Sun → S → SKIP
3. Ninja → N → COLOR
4. Insect → M/F/G → SKIP

Row 2:
5. Narwhal → N → COLOR
6. Letters Nn → SKIP (not a “thing”)
7. Folded paper → ambiguous — if it’s a napkin or net → maybe? But to be safe, let’s say SKIP unless certain.

Row 3:
8. Nail polish application → N → COLOR
9. Vase → V → SKIP
10. Nest → N → COLOR
11. Loop/ring → R/P → SKIP

So definitely: Nurse, Ninja, Narwhal, Nail Polish, Nest → 5 items.

If the folded paper is intended to be a “net”, then add it — making 6.

But since the drawing isn’t super clear, and to avoid overcounting, I’ll go with the 5 clear ones.

However — in standard kindergarten worksheets, they often include exactly those 5 plus maybe one more.

Wait — the insect: Is it possible it’s a night butterfly? Unlikely. Or moth? No.

Another thought: Sometimes “ant” is used — but ant starts with A.

No — better to stick with certainty.

Final Answer: Color the following five pictures:

- The nurse
- The ninja
- The narwhal
- The hands applying nail polish
- The bird’s nest

Do not color: sun, insect, vase, folded paper (unless you’re sure it’s a net), or the loop.

But since the question asks us to solve the problem — meaning identify which to color — here’s the final list.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
Color these five items: the nurse, the ninja, the narwhal, the hands applying nail polish, and the bird’s nest.
