 | Color Match by Skip Skwarek, Sue Hendra
With its unique magnetic pages, Color Match offers a fun-filled approach to learning. Its bright and busy scenes, magnetized play pieces, and pull-out sorting tray invite preschoolers to discover colors and other early concepts through interactive play. The magnetized objects are grouped into four fun categories and four basic colors. Simple text questions and visual details in each picture provide clues to the identity and placement of the four objects that it lacks. A picture is completed by placing the correct objects on their matching magnetized color stars. Kids will love creating silly scenes by purposely mismatching objects and color stars. Color recognition is reinforced by searching for four other items in each picture that match the color of one of the magnetized objects. The detailed scenes offer additional topics for discussion, including counting, animal characteristics, play activities, weather, and seasons. And when playtime is nearly over, kids can be encouraged to sort the play pieces by category or color, and put them away by matching each to its nook in the sturdy storage tray!
