Ages 4–5
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 and visual-search game for children ages 4–5 that goes further than simple matching. A shape is shown above, and children scan a busy scene of many shapes and colors to find every shape that shares its color — even when the shapes themselves look completely different — sharpening the idea that color is a separate property from shape, plus careful visual search.
Skills practiced
Color recognition, Visual discrimination, Attribute matching, Sustained attention
Tips For Parents
Point out that the shapes look different but the color is the same, to help the idea click.
