🧠 Learning Objective
The goal of this activity pack is simple: to help children develop their colour recognition, sorting, and matching skills while encouraging creativity and fine motor development. Through playful, visual exercises, children will learn to identify, name, and categorise common colours with ease.
🧠 What Your Child/Student Will Learn
✅ Identify and name primary and secondary colours
✅ Strengthen visual categorization and sorting skills
✅ Practice colour-matching and word association
✅ Enhance fine motor control through cutting, colouring, and gluing
✅ Build vocabulary and memory with printable colour posters and flash cards
✂️ Activities Included
1. Colour Sorting Activity
Cut, match, and sort! In this hands-on exercise, children will cut out picture tiles and sort them into colour categories. From red apples to blue socks, the images are kid-friendly, engaging, and easy to recognise. This helps learners develop classification skills and colour associations in a tactile and visual way.
2. Colour the Fruits & Crayons
Next, kids move on to a delightful colouring task. They’ll colour in fruits and crayon illustrations based on the correct colours (e.g., yellow bananas, green grapes, purple plums). This encourages accurate colour identification while supporting creativity.
3. Printable Colour Chart / Flash Cards
We’ve included a vibrant, ready-to-print colour chart featuring common colours and examples. Display it as a classroom poster or cut it into flash cards for a game of colour memory. It’s a great take-home resource or classroom wall decor that reinforces the lesson throughout the week.
