About this worksheet
A free printable color mixing worksheet for kindergarten: red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple and red and white make pink. In the last two rows the new color is given and kids find the missing paint. Kids color the splats, color the result and write the color word. Answer key on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.
Tips for using it
- Name one color at a time and use it all day: the red apple, your red socks, the red car.
- Use real crayons that match the page; a crayon labeled with its color word helps link word and color.
- Ask 'Is it red or blue?' instead of 'What color is it?' while a color is still new: choosing is easier than naming.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
