I currently have a three-year-old who stubbornly refuses to learn his basic colors. Now sometimes kids really don’t have the capacity yet to learn something, and when we force it, we are doing them more damage than good. However, in this case, I have a sneaky suspicion that he is just putting on a show for everyone. Have you ever experienced that with young children?

One way we are encouraging him to buckle down and learn his colors is through fun learning games, and that’s where this color-matching game came into play! It is a great activity for learning colors!

Our children this year have been homeschooled and it has been a blast! We used a play-based curriculum called “Let them be Little” and tweaked it along the way. Eventually, we fell into a more unschooling method where we let our kid’s interests lead our school choices. One of the latest obsessions we have been working through is bug-eating plants like the Venus Fly Trap. We actually have a Venus Fly Trap sitting on my counter right now!

This means that we have incorporated basic pre-K learning into each of the child-led lessons. Color is an example of this. As we do activities and follow their interests we go on color scavenger hunts, or just simply work on identifying colors as we play.

Color Matching Printable

This fun game is great for preschoolers even for a kindergarten students review! There is no sign-up required. The download button will take you to my Gumroad store, which is an easy way to download the free activity packet.

What’s Included?

In this download, you will find one free printable color matching worksheet in PDF file format. The file includes two pages featuring different colors worksheets. This engaging resource is perfect for young minds learning matching colors and the name of the color.

I recommend laminating the sheets and adding velcro dots to make the activity reusable. You can also place the printable in a dry-erase pocket to practice over and over again!

We love our $25 Amazon basics laminator, but sadly due to rising costs, it’s now about $31! Regardless, I think it’s one of the best and most cost-effective laminators out there. We have loved doing a preschool homeschool year and the laminator has been a well-used tool.

We love using our laminator for printable activities, especially for preschool and kindergarten age kids. Make sure to adjust your printer settings to the highest quality to ensure the different colors come out vibrant and clear.

Often I hear that the colors don’t come out right and that’s often due to a poor printer or the highest settings not being used. Our Workforce printer has been excellent this year.

Ideas for Using the Color Matching Game

Here are some different ways to use the color matching game!

• Hide the cut-out circles around the room and have your child matching colors by attaching them to the laminated sheet.
• Place the circles on a sensory table with pom poms, cereal pieces, or other small objects to encourage critical thinking and visual arts.
• Simply sit down with your child and work on identifying colors on the sheet.
• Use the pieces to create a matching game with different shapes.
• Double-print the circles and use them to play a matching game! Turn all the pieces over and flip them over two at a time. If you flip over two matching ones then the player gets to keep them.
