I am so excited to announce my color clip cards download is now available in the download store!!  There are 51 sets of color clip cards designed to work on color recognition and fine motor development.  Each set comes in b&w as well as color and with two color level choices for printing. 

Simply print the color clips on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminate. Children clip the correct color on each card with a clothespin or paper clip.

To learn more please visit the color clip cards information page.

I made a fine motor apple color clip activity for color recognition and fine motor skills development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut along the gray line so that there would be a white border around the apples (you can cut along the black border if you wish instead). I then laminated all of the apples.

The apple patterns come in black and white as well as 12 different colors. We used mine clothes pins that I purchased from here. The clothespins are are small so remember to use close supervision with children under the age of three and those still in the stages of putting small items in their mouths.

In this activity children pick and apple and then clip the same color clothespin to the apples. You can turn this into a math activity by writing numbers on the apples and having the children put the same number of clothespins on the apples. You can see a video of this activity and download the patterns below.

I made a Teddy Bear Color Match for color recognition and fine motor development skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.

I set the teddy bears and honey pot cards out in two different piles along with some mini clothespins. I purchased the clothepins from amazon and although they are mini we use them for many activities.

In this activity children children find the teddy bear and the honey pot with the same color and clip them together. I have included honey pots with and without color labels.

As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added teddy bear fine motor counting.

Here is a cute ladybug color match for color recognition. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.

I set the ladybugs in one pile and the leaves in another pile. I made two different sizes of leaves ... a smaller one for a single ladybug match and a larger one for a multiple match.

In this activity children place the matching ladybug(s) on the same color leaves. I made the leaves with and without color labels and also include the alternate spelling of the color gray/grey.

As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added Ladybug Number Match Sticks.

We talked a lot about flowers and the different types and colors. I made a flower match activity for color recognition and fine motor development. Print patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out.

Laminate all pieces for durability. Using an xacto knife slice along the line at the top of each color pot. I have included pots with color names and without color names.

In this activity children pick a color pot and find the same color flower. They then insert the flower into the top of each pot where the opening has been sliced. Play continues until all flowers have been matched.

As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added Flower Bead Lacing.

​I made snowman puzzles for color recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out. I then laminated them and cut along the lines to make five pieces for each puzzle. 

​I set the puzzle pieces out on the table.  You can either keep the puzzles grouped by color or mix them up to make them more challenging for the children to put each puzzle together. 

As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added Snowman Letter Sequence.
