AND…
Our Laminator and Laminating Sheets.
You will probably need a wide variety of Color activities for your preschool lesson planning. We’ve included activities ranging from alphabet building and counting, to patterns, games, matching, and more. Check them out below.
Practicing patterns is helpful in learning what comes next in a group. It is also an important skill in number activities. The pattern activities will keep kids excited while learning during your preschool Colors theme.
Ice Cream Color Patterns
This is such a fun fine motor activity as well as color sorting. You can glue lids or cup bottoms to the circles above the cone. Then use the cards to set color patterns.
Paint Splatter Patterns
We love these color pattern cards. You can copy the pattern first. Then extend the pattern, and finally, let them start creating patterns on their own.
Ice Tray Color Patterns
Kids love copying these fun color patterns using giant tweezers and an ice tray. You can fill the empty cubes with pom poms or buttons.
Dot Marker Art Pages
This set also includes several Do-a-Dot coloring pages. You can laminate them and fill the circles with color pom poms or fill them with dot markers.
In preschool, we work on a range of literacy and math skills depending on where our kiddos are at. Here are color – themed centers for alphabet letters, counting, and more to use in your Colors preschool theme.
Roll & Build Color Towers
Roll a dice and build fun color towers. Which one has the most?
Building Color Words
There are so many ways to use these. You can do art with them by filling the letters with shredded paper. You can also practice making the color words with playdough, buttons or pom poms.
Balloon Count and Color
For this fun color activity we combined counting with color sorting. You can fill the balloons with playdough, pom poms or buttons.
Color Caterpillars
We like to store the pom poms in an empty Ziploc box. That way it’s a bit of a surprise when they reach in and pull a color out. They can then do some early math by seeing which caterpillar gets the longest.
Learning how to sort different items is an important cognitive skill. It helps early learners identify similarities and differences between objects. Here we get to practice sorting buttons, building shapes and work on matching too.
Crayon Box Color Sort
Fold and glue these cute crayon boxes and sort the crayons by colors.
Color Button Sorting
There are so many fun button options for this game. I love using shape buttons so they get to experiment with shapes as well as colors.
Clothespin Color Sort
This activity is great for fine motor skills as well as color sorting. You can paint your own clothespins, or you can get them pre-painted on Amazon.
Paint Brush Color Sort
Kids love this fun activity. You can use a smaller brushes to make it more difficult or a larger brush to make it easier. Brush the pom poms onto the correct color splatter.
Objects Color Sorting
Place the different color pictures into the correct color column.
Colored Pencil Matching
You can use this activity as a file folder or binder activity. We use Velcro dots to attach the pieces.
If you need an idea for fine motor practice, circle time games, or some fun additional color activities, these Color and printables are for you.
Color Objects Bingo
In this fun game, the kids get to spin and cover real life objects in color.
Spin & Race Color Game
Start with a game piece in each color. You can use snap cubes, pom poms or buttons. Spin a color. Move that color forward. Spin again and again until one of the colors make it to the finish.
Bonus Color Sorting and Fine Motor Activity Idea
My kiddos absolutely loved this color sorting activity. We made it with a leftover egg carton. You can glue colored paper to the tops of the egg carton or color them with a crayon or marker. Then poke a small hole in the top of each one.
Cut pipe cleaners in half and sort them into the egg carton.
Do you ever need something fast, no-prep, print-and-go for a sub or one of those super crazy preschool days?
These Color worksheets are the perfect last-minute fill-in for your lesson plans. They’re also a lot of fun for early finishers or for take-home packets.

I love your resources, only problem I have is that in the UK we spell color differently, we spell it colour, so I can not use many of those fabulous activities. Regardless though, your resources are just wonderful. x
