It's wonderful for morning work, math centers, and other Thanksgiving activities. While I don't typically set age or grade ranges on printable activities, I've been asked what my suggestions. These color by shape coloring pages are awesome for Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students in the month of November leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Why Use a Color by Shapes Activity
This activity isn't just fun - it's educational, too! Color By Shapes helps reinforce shape recognition, an important skill for little learners.
As children identify different shapes and match them to the correct colors, they're developing their visual discrimination skills. That means that even if they don't know the names of all the shapes yet, they're learning to notice the number of sides and corners each shape has, which is the first stop on the way to shape recognition!
This type of activity also supports fine motor skills as kids color within the lines, and it reinforces color recognition and following directions.
