About this worksheet
A color-recognition page built around one idea: brown is not just a word, it is a property of real things. The page shows four outlined pictures — a bear, horse, monkey and a dog — and the only job is to color them brown.
Brown rarely gets a page to itself, yet it is everywhere a child looks — earth, wood, bread, most animals. This page is all animals on purpose: brown is the hardest color to find a crayon-bright example of, and furry friends are the exception.
One color per page is deliberate. A page of mixed colors tests sorting; this page builds the single association first, and its sibling pages cover the other colors one by one before the review sheet mixes them.
How to use this sheet
Put out several crayons, not just the right one — choosing the correct crayon unprompted is the actual test of the skill.
