Preschool Activities to Teach Colors

Teaching colors to preschoolers often happens naturally as we talk about the colors around us: clothes, walls, toys, food, etc.

Lesson plans about colors for preschoolers don’t have to be elaborate, but they are certainly an important aspect of early learning.

Get kids interested in learning colors with hands-on games, scavenger hunts, and center activities.

Pairing color words and colors right from the start gives toddlers and preschoolers great background as they continue on to kindergarten.

How to Use the Fun Color Posters for Spring

The bird themed printables are as versatile as your students! You can create a new bulletin board in Spring as the seasons change, or you could use them for learning colors in preschool all year.

First, print the color printables for preschool number posters. Then, choose from one of the following options:

• Use the posters as classroom display items.
• Laminate or slide into plastic sleeves for students to use at the math center. Pair each card with a number and give students colored counters to place on the appropriate color.
• Students can use them as sorting mats by placing a busy bag of multi-colored pom poms with the posters. This will enhance fine motor development while learning colors!
• Create two sets of the half-page posters, mix them up, and challenge students to find the matching colors.
• Implement the cards into other bird themed activities for preschoolers, like making bird feeders, finding bird nests, or other bird crafts.
• Teach colors (los colores) in Spanish as well as English!
• Place protected cards at a sorting center with multi-colored play dough or pipe cleaners!
• Hide the “I See a…” cards around the classroom. Give students an “I Spy” grid and let them color each square as they find that color.
• Students that are ready can use the cards to trace or copy the color words.
