This set of Easter Bunny coloring pages focuses on following coding directions to color a super cute bunny. There are two pages for each type of coloring page. The first style features an assigned color. The second style page invites children to select their own colors for each section.
Two different math skills are focused on the pages in this coloring set. Children can work on shape recognition on a set of pages. The second skill that can be explored is number recognition.
Getting the Easter Bunny Coloring Pages
The Easter Bunny coloring pages are a PDF. Once you have downloaded, the set you will need to open it with a PDF reader like Acrobat Reader.
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.
Building Background
If your children don’t know a lot about Easter, you may want to read a book or do an activity that features them before you start these pages.

Exploring the Color By Code Easter Bunny Coloring Pages
Deciding What Style of Page to Explore
You can decide if you want your children to work on the page or pages that feature assigned colors or choose their colors. While choosing your own opens the door for children to be creative, it can lead to very unique colored flowers. However, that may be what you enjoy and want to encourage. You also may just want your children to use the colors you have available at home or in class.
Understanding the Directions on the Code and Color Easter Bunny Coloring Pages
If you are having a non-reader work on the color-by-code Easter bunny pages, you may want to help them highlight what they need to do. First, you can have them underline the number 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. That is what I have done with my children.
Some children will be fine with just highlighting the directions. However, there will be some that need to draw a dot near the number in each section that matches the assigned color. They can go back later and color in the whole section.
Following the Directions in Order
While there are children who like to follow directions in order, others will want to start at the top of the picture and work their way down. The idea of including the directions in algorithm blocks was to have them follow them from top to bottom the way a computer would. It will be up to you to decide what you think is best.
