Single Color Worksheets
All children develop as individuals. Parents and caregivers
should use the age ratings below as a general guideline, taking
the abilities, temperament and interests of their children into
account.
- Ages 4-5 Can complete without assistance. Provides
practice printing the words of colors.
- Age 3 Can complete with minimal
assistance after directions are given.
- Age 2 Introduction to colors
-- can complete with adult assistance.
Tracing activities develop a child's control of
the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) improving hand/eye
coordination. Learning shapes and colors allows children to
group or classify items -- children develop their ability to make
logical connections -- a precursor to both math and language arts.
If an aspect of a project is frustrating to the
child, provide assistance - try to keep things fun. Sing songs,
read stories or watch shows with a similar theme as the worksheet
you choose to supplement the project - again focusing on extra activities
that the child enjoys to help keep them motivated.
Take breaks, when necessary. Choose a time
of day when you and the child are relaxed. Provide rewards
(verbal encouragement, gold stars on "chore
chart" checklists or
awards for tasks
that have been mastered) and change up the rewards when needed.
Don't underestimate the "reward value" of one-on-one time with a
loved grown up! Ten minutes of "homework time" with daddy
after work can become a special ritual for both father and child
(at least it did for our family *grin*).
The Shapes
recognition worksheets have some colors practice included if
you're looking for more practice.
