Color Recognition Activities for Preschoolers

Learning colors is a natural topic for toddlers and preschoolers. We can incorporate it into all learning, from dramatic play to sensory play. Color activities for preschool should be meaningful and hands-on.

Color activities for kids might include:

Color sorting activities
- Students can find hidden objects (blocks, pom poms, buttons, etc.) in the sensory bin, then sort them into buckets by color. Similarly, you might place different colored objects into a busy bag for children to play with on car rides or while waiting at a restaurant.
Color code the pretend play area when possible by grouping items of the same color, or asking children to color match as many items as possible.
Clip cards provide fine motor skill development while working on colors.
Incorporate colors into virtually any preschool theme by simply pointing out colors, naming them, labeling them, and talking about them!
