About this worksheet
A free printable color sorting worksheet: twelve pictures to cut out (pot, cherries, corn, frog, leaf, gift, cheese, pen, book, tractor, banana, heart) and four colored rows to glue them in: red, yellow, green and blue. Sorting by color is one of the first sorting skills, and the cutting and gluing trains little hands too. Page 2 shows every picture in its row. Little ones can do most of it with crayons, and a grown-up can read the short questions aloud.
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.
