Learning colors takes practice, and simple matching activities can make that practice fun for young children. This free Match the Colors worksheet helps toddlers and early preschoolers review four basic colors: red, yellow, blue, and green.
Children look at each picture, identify its main color, and then draw a line to the matching color box.
Match the Pictures to the Colors
This worksheet gives children practice with four basic colors:
Red: ball and rose
Yellow: banana and butterfly
Blue: marker and flower
Green: leaf and balloon
The pictures are mixed across the page, encouraging children to look carefully at each one before choosing the correct color.
How to Use the Worksheet
Begin by pointing to the four color boxes and saying each color name aloud:
Red. Yellow. Blue. Green.
Then look at the pictures together. Ask your child a simple question such as:
“What color is the banana?”
Once your child identifies the color, encourage them to draw a line from the picture to the matching color box.
Continue until all eight pictures have been matched.
For younger children, parents or teachers can name the pictures and colors together before starting the activity.
