About this coloring page
Eight is a number with plenty of legs. This number 8 coloring page shows a big 8, the word eight, and eight flowers to count: a row of five and a row of three underneath. Children can count the first row, then count on "six, seven, eight" for the second.
A spider has eight legs and an octopus has eight arms. A stop sign has eight sides. The word eight has a silent G and H in the middle, which is worth pointing out to beginning readers. To write 8, start at the top, make an S shape down to the bottom, then go back up the other way to close it, without lifting the pencil. Some children prefer to stack two circles, a small one on a bigger one; both are fine while they learn, though the one-stroke way is quicker later.
