Ages 2–3
Find Shapes with the Same Color
Find all the shapes that are the same color as the shape shown above.
About this activity
Find Shapes with the Same Color is a color-recognition game for toddlers ages 2–3 that goes a step further than simple matching. A shape is shown above, and children have to find every other shape that shares its color — even when the shapes themselves look completely different — helping kids learn that color is a separate property from shape.
Skills practiced
Color recognition, Visual discrimination, Attribute matching
Tips For Parents
Point out that the shapes look different but the color is the same, to help the idea click.
