Color Matching Worksheet Preschool Activity

Children like it when they can recognize objects and describe how they look. Learning colors help them with this. Being able to describe a dress as blue, or a ball as orange is a huge milestone.
Using color matching worksheets teaches your child to identify objects, describe them, and thereafter match them to other objects according to similarity.
This activity is fun and will improve your child’s thinking and reasoning skills.

How To Use The Free Printable Color Matching Worksheets

The matching colors worksheets pdf is a three-page printable and includes 10 basic colors (red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple, pink, brown, grey, and black)
For this activity you will need:
- Matching Colors Worksheet Pdf (download at the bottom of the post)

- Laminating machine (if you would like to make the worksheets reusable)
Download the pdf and take out colored pencils or crayons. This is a very low prep activity so printing is all you need to do.
Have your little one look at the pictures on the worksheets and identify them, and assist if they cannot name all of them.

Next, let your child identify all the colors they see. This will give you an indication as to whether this activity will be easy or challenging for them. If they don’t recognize all the colors, you can improve color recognition with these color flashcards.
Once they have identified the colors, your child can take a colored pencil to draw a line to match and link objects similar in color. They should say the names of the objects they are matching as well as their color. Use crayons or markers that are the same colors as the pictures to make color matching easy and fun.

Your child should match all the colors until all the worksheets are complete. Do one worksheet at a time, or one worksheet per day. As long as you work at your child’s pace.
This activity is fun, quick to complete, colorful, and interesting for young minds.
