Color Matching

L is matching colors with clothespins and a paint stick.

To make:
1) paint your paint stick with stripes of each color
2) paint clothespins to match each color
3) write the name of the color on both sides of each clothespin

This activity reinforces color recognition, fine motor skills, and aides in recognizing the name and spelling of each color.

  2. I think markers might work just as well as the paint. The yellow clip is done with marker and you can't really tell the difference. I also used kids' paints, but acrylic might work better if you have it on hand. Have fun!
