Colors Tot-School

We are learning colors this month. We spent a couple days on each color, basically however long she needed to remember the new color. Storm is 2 years old, but you could use most of these activities for 3 and 4 year old children as well. I also have a few activities for babies; we included my granddaughter in some of the lessons. You can click the links at the bottom of this post to see what we did for each individual color.

Color Activities:

Teachers Pay Teachers Jumbo Coloring Book

Draw a road down the middle of a paper, and make colored rectangles on each side. Drive cars down the road until you come to the right color and park the car on the color. I have also created one of these Color Parking Spots and included it in my Teachers Pay Teachers Colors Worksheets Preschool (Learn to spell 11 Colors) Color Mixing Activities.

I printed out pages 13-15 this Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See Pack for her to match 2 piece puzzles together.

The Learning Journey: Learn With Me – Color Fun Fish Bowl

I found these Color Headers in the Target back to school clearance a few years ago. I punched out the pieces and laid them on the floor for her to match up.

Match different shades of colors to the grid I got some paint samples and cut apart the shades. She sorted the shades under the correct color.

I printed out and laminated the Color Puzzles #2 for Storm to put together.

I found this fun Paint Brush Color Matching Game for her to put the paint brushes into the matching paint jars.

Color Busy Book:

I made Storm a busy book to match up colors. I printed all of these pages from free resources that I have found. Then I laminated them and 3 hole punched them and placed them in a binder. I cut out the matches and added velcro dots to them so that she could place them in the appropriate spot.
