This printable activity sheet combines art and math, featuring a fish to color based on number patterns and a cut-out dice game.

This is a color-by-code activity designed for young children to practice number recognition, shape matching, and fine motor skills. The goal is to color the fish according to the key provided on the top sheets.

🔍 Step-by-Step Solution:

There are two key charts at the top:

#### ✔ Chart 1: Number → Shape Matching
This chart tells you which shape corresponds to each number from 1 to 6.

| Number | Shape (Symbol) |
|--------|----------------------|
| 1 | Zigzag / “W” shape |
| 2 | Wavy line |
| 3 | Spiral / swirl |
| 4 | Circle |
| 5 | Figure-eight / infinity symbol |
| 6 | Curvy wave |

> 📌 *Note: In the fish image, these shapes are already drawn — you just need to match them to their number and then to their color.*

#### ✔ Chart 2: Number → Color Matching
This chart tells you which color to use for each number.

| Number | Color |
|--------|----------------------|
| 1 | Red |
| 2 | Green |
| 3 | Yellow |
| 4 | Orange |
| 5 | Blue |
| 6 | Purple |

🎨 Now, Color the Fish!

Look at each shape on the fish and follow this process:
1. Identify the shape.
2. Match it to its number using Chart 1.
3. Use that number to find the correct color in Chart 2.
4. Color the shape with that color.

Let’s go through each shape on the fish:

#### 🐟 Fish Coloring Guide:

1. Red “W” (zigzag) → Shape #1 → Color: Red ✔ *(already colored correctly)*
2. Yellow circle → Shape #4 → Color: Orange ✘ *(currently yellow — should be ORANGE)*
3. Green “W” (zigzag) → Shape #1 → Color: Red ✘ *(currently green — should be RED)*
4. Blue wavy line → Shape #2 → Color: Green ✘ *(currently blue — should be GREEN)*
5. Orange spiral → Shape #3 → Color: Yellow ✘ *(currently orange — should be YELLOW)*
6. Purple figure-eight → Shape #5 → Color: Blue ✘ *(currently purple — should be BLUE)*
7. Orange circle → Shape #4 → Color: Orange ✔ *(correct!)*
8. Green wavy line → Shape #2 → Color: Green ✔ *(correct!)*
9. Purple curvy wave → Shape #6 → Color: Purple ✔ *(correct!)*

> 💡 Important Note: The image shows some shapes *already colored*, but many are incorrectly colored based on the key. This might be intentional to show an example of what NOT to do, or perhaps it's a preview before coloring.

🧩 Bonus: The Dice Template

The dice template on the right is likely for a game extension — roll the die, get a number, find that shape on the fish, and color it. It reinforces number recognition and turn-taking.

🎨 Tip for Kids: You can trace over the shapes first with pencil to make sure you’re coloring the right ones, then fill them in with crayons or markers!
