Book Activities for Shapes and Colours

A CBCA Notable Early Childhood Book of the Year for 2021 this simple book is perfect for young children in Pre-School or Kindergarten learning their colours and shapes. Using silhouettes and actual images, John Canty teaches children the colours of the rainbow and familiar items for each of those colours.

The 6 activities we have made for this book are also aimed at Pre-School and Kindergarten students and explore shapes, colour, foods, printing, handwriting and finding the odd one out.

The video walkthrough above shows each of the activities and also offers suggestions for activities you can do to help teach colours as they appear in nature.  Watch the video to find out more.
