Fish Color Match

2/11/2016

I made a fish themed color match file folder game to help with color recognition. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and taped the two fish mats together and then laminated them. You can also glue the mats inside a file folder.

I laminated the color circles and attached self-adhesive magnets to the back of each circle. In this activity children pick a color circle and put it on the blanks circle of the fish with the matching color. Play continues until colors have been matched.

You can grab the fish color match patterns here.

Is there a preschool science curriculum you prefer? My preschoolers are 18 months to 4. I would love to do more hands on science everyday. Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi Staci ... I use a variety of material for science. I will put together a blog post of what I do for hands on science.

This was an awesome game. I'm taking care of a 2 year old. He was able to do it in no time.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for this, it will be a great learning tool for my 2-4 year olds, I'm going to make it harder for the older 3year olds by using a coloured dice. Again thank yoh so so much. I'm rubbish using computers to great things so when I see someone skilful has made something and they've so kindly shared it I get so excited. Xxx
