Thanksgiving Colors
This activity require very little prep work, so it is perfect for busy moms and homeschool co-op teachers.
Young learners will love working on color recognition, color sorting, and color words.
PREPARING THE ACTIVITY
To prepare this activity, I suggest printing the pages on cardstock and laminating them for durability. Then, cut apart the color sorting cards.
If you’d like, you can put velcro dots on the back of each card and in each blank square on the sorting mats. Then, the cards/mats will stick together.
USING THE WORKSHEETS
This worksheet pack contains eleven sorting mats and thirty-three color sorting cards.
Each sorting mat features a colored turkey and color word along with three blank squares.
Children will sort through the cards to find a Pilgrim hat, a slice of pie, and a cornucopia of the same color.
