I made a bead stringing color match which is a wonderful activity for fine motor development. Simply print the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminate them.
There are twelve colors included in this set and I was able to find beads for all twelve colors. For gray I used silver beads as that is what I had on hand.
I punched a hole on the first dashed line on each of the color circles and then attached six inch white pipe cleaners by going through the top of the holes and then bending about a half inch of the pipe cleaner over.
I set the color circles out along with the beads and the children sorted the beads by color and then strung them on the pipe cleaners of the matching circles. If you wanted to use larger beads you could use lacing cord and attach it to the color circles for the children to string.
As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added shape cutting cards.

Color match is not working for me. I’m on an iPad.

Hi ... the color match was available until March 29th ... it was last weeks freebie which means it is only available in the member's section. If you would like to send me your email address I will try and provide so you can still download it.
