We are starting our ladybug theme next week and I made a color match that could be done using a muffin tin in one of our outdoor centers.
I made twelve color circles ... each a different color... and put them in the bottom of a muffin tin tray. I ran the colored circles through my xyron sticker maker so they would stick to the muffin tin. Double sided tape or tape that has been rolled up also works well.
I will set the muffin tin out with the colored circles in the bottom and put the colored ladybugs next to the muffin tin. I made two different kinds of ladybugs ... one full color and one with a color circle on a white body. You can chose what kind you would like to use. I will be using both sets for the children to match.
The children will put the ladybugs in the muffin tin section with the same color. For younger children you may only want to make one or two sets of the ladybugs as too many can be somewhat overwhelming when there are twelve colors.
