If your kitchen table looks anything like mine, you know printables save the day more often than not. With three energetic boys, I’m always searching for quick, creative ideas that keep our afternoons fresh, fun, and even a little educational. Lately, Bubble Number 33 has become our new go-to!

My kids got super creative with these free printable number pages!

Whether we’re pulling out crayons for kid-friendly crafts, squeezing in a last-minute homeschool lesson, or just looking for a unique touch for family celebrations, Bubble Number 33 never fails to bring big smiles and spark those giggly, rowdy moments I’ll never forget.

Printables make every day easier, especially when they double as both learning tools and ways to quiet the “Mom, I’m bored” chorus. Bubble Number 33 is loaded with possibilities for all kinds of family fun.

I always keep a few copies handy in my kitchen drawer. Trust me, it’s a lifesaver on rainy days or when I need to finish a hot cup of coffee.

Here’s what we’ve tried (and loved):

  • Coloring sheets for solo quiet time
  • DIY banners for birthdays and milestone celebrations
  • Number games that sneak in a little learning
  • Party hats and quick decorations before guests come over

Each idea uses Bubble Number 33 in a way that’s simple and flexible. If you have paper, scissors, and a few basic supplies, you’re good to go.

Fun Coloring Challenges

Coloring never gets old, even as my boys get bigger. With Bubble Number 33, we make things extra fun by hosting mini coloring contests right at the kitchen table. I set out big bowls of markers, colored pencils, even stickers and glitter. Each kid tries to outdo the others, adding racing stripes, flames, or whatever wild details they dream up. The best part? There are no rules, just creativity and lots of laughter.

To keep things fresh:

  • Set a timer for “speed coloring”
  • Pick a theme like “craziest colors” or “robot numbers”
  • Use foam stickers or scrap fabric for added texture

Don’t be surprised if your kids ask for a rematch. Ours do—every single time!

Homemade Math Games

Turning Bubble Number 33 into a game is one of my favorite tricks, especially for sneaking in a quick homeschool lesson. We tape the numbers around the house and turn it into a scavenger hunt, or I’ll use small treats and have the boys “buy” their way to 33 using coins and play cash.

You can:

  • Write math problems inside the bubble numbers
  • Cut out two sets and play a matching game
  • Use the numbers to practice skip-counting or addition

Even our youngest gets in on the action, tracing the numbers with his finger or covering them with buttons. Learning, without it feeling like school—what’s not to love?

Birthday Party Decorating Ideas

Bubble Number 33 transforms birthdays on a budget. Last year, we taped them up over the dessert table, and the kids went wild decorating their own cut-out numbers for party hats. If you’re low on supplies, try:

  • Stringing decorated numbers for DIY banners
  • Making cupcake toppers with toothpicks and mini Bubble Number 33s
  • Creating custom invitations by gluing colored numbers on card stock

Sometimes the simplest touches make the biggest splash. My boys still talk about the “cool number signs” from their last party.

Benefits of Including Bubble Number 33 in Your Printable Arsenal

Adding Bubble Number 33 has changed the way we do afternoons at home. For one, it gets my boys off their screens. It also sparks new ideas every week, whether we’re learning, decorating, or just looking for a five-minute project.

Here’s why I keep it at the ready:

  • Encourages creative thinking with open-ended play
  • Supports learning—from number sense to teamwork
  • Creates lasting memories during family time
  • Easy to swap in for seasonal or holiday fun

Plus, it’s so easy to personalize, whether you want lots of color or a quick fix.

Tips for Printing and Using Bubble Number 33 at Home

You don’t need a fancy setup or designer printer to get started. Here’s what works best for us:

  • Use thick paper or card stock if you want something sturdy for banners or games
  • Set your printer to “best” quality for crisp, bold outlines (even basic inkjets do the trick)
  • Laminate your favorites for long-term use—especially if sticky hands are part of your life
  • Keep an organizer or folder so you can grab your Bubble Number 33 printables any time

Print a few extras while you’re at it. I guarantee you’ll reach for them more than once.
