These code and color eclipse coloring pages focus on number recognition and basic shapes. The directions for completing each of the pages are displayed on Blockly coding blocks. Each page comes in two versions. One page has colors assigned to each step. The second version invites children to pick their colors.

Another set of eclipse code and color pages is available on my TPT shop. It has many of the same pictures, but focuses on addition and subtraction facts to twenty.
Featured Eclipse Stages and More
The pages features several stages of an eclipse. There are also pictures featuring children wearing eclipse glasses. Your children will have fun identify the stage displayed in each picture.

Getting the Code and Color Eclipse Coloring Pages
First, you will need to download the set.
Second, if you don’t have Acrobat Reader you will need to download it. The algorithm page is an Acrobat Reader PDF file.
Third, you must go to your download file and open the page. You may be asked if you want the file to open right after you download it. You won’t have to hunt for it in your download file if you are.
Building Background
If your children don’t know a lot about eclipses, you may want to read a book or do an activity that features them before you start these pages.

Understanding the Directions Code and Color Pages
If you are having a non-reader work on the color-by-code pages, you may want to help them highlight what they need to do. First, you can have them underline the number or shape they are focusing on for each step. Next, children will need to place a line that matches the color mentioned in that step over or under that number or shape. That is what I have done with my children.
Some children will be fine with just highlighting the directions. However, there will be some who need to draw a dot near the shape or number in each section that matches the assigned color. They can go back later and color in the whole section.
