Printable: Math Link Cubes - Colour Sorting Activities

One of the ways children learn is through repetition. We have designed a colour sorting mat in conjunction with our Math Link Cube to enable parents to teach children about colours at home.

What can your child learn?

• Trains visual discrimination skills through matching of colours
• Colour recognition (From primary to secondary colours in sequence)
• Exposure of the name of colours
• Enhances fine motor skills through colouring/ painting

What will your child do?

• Match the correct colours to the coloured circles through the used of different counters or art media

Younger children can get overwhelmed when too many colours are introduced at once. Hence, we have designed the colouring activity into 3 levels (See below)
