A steam train pulling four carriages numbered 1 to 4, drawn bold enough to read across a room. The carriages are identical boxes, so the numerals are the only thing telling them apart — color them differently and the order becomes visible.

How to color the Number train with carriages coloring page

Colour the four carriages in four clearly different colours, then cut them apart and hand them over shuffled. Putting the train back in order with nothing to go on but the numerals is a harder task than colouring it and takes about a minute, and it is the only activity in this topic that has a wrong answer a child can check for themselves. Keep the engine one colour so it stays obviously the front.
