Color Houses

Three or four sheets of colored paper on the floor—the red, blue, and yellow "houses"—and a pile of matching picture cards. Your child draws a card, names it ("the red strawberry!"), and carries it to its home until everyone is back where they belong.

Step by step

  1. Print out 3 or 4 solid colored sheets (the red, blue, and yellow "houses") and the colored picture cards.
  2. Spread the houses across the floor or table, and shuffle the cards into a pile.
  3. Draw a card, name it ("the red strawberry!"), and carry it to its house to show how it's done.
  4. Let your child draw and sort cards one by one, naming each one. If a card ends up in the wrong house, wait until the final check to fix it together.
  5. Inspect each house together at the end ("Is everyone red in here?") and fix any mix-ups.
  6. Start with 2 colors, move to 4 or 5, then try tricky shades (pink vs. red) or sort by shapes using the exact same rule.
