-Flat Surface
-Ziploc storage bag
How To Make The Game
1. Cut the color swatches into rectangular shapes by section. For example, cut out each different shade of the red color swatch by the separating lines.
2. Once you have all of the pieces cut out, you can use the Ziploc bag to store the game in for future use.
How To Play
1. Begin by placing all of the sectioned color swatches color-side up on a flat surface.
2. Scatter the colors around to provide a bit of a challenge to find the pieces that go together.
3. Choose a color that will begin play, such as blue.
4. Invite your preschooler to find all of the blue pieces in a row from darkest to lightest or vice versa, continue to choose the colors that your preschooler is expected to categorize until there are no remaining pieces.
Game Variations
For younger preschoolers you may need to make the game a little easier. It is difficult for younger preschoolers to understand grouping and creating a chart to help them match the colors will provide them with a concrete tool for making the challenge easier and more enjoyable.
1. Using white construction paper and crayons (the big box that has a variety of shades) you can draw replicas of the color swatches that you picked up in the paint section.
2. Have your preschooler match the cut out sections of the color swatches to the color on the construction paper that you created.
Note: Laminate the construction paper color chart that you’ve created for prolonged durability.
