Six colour words paired with a geometric shape to colour in, plus tracing lines for the Arabic and English name of each colour.

What is on the pages

  • Six colour words, each with a geometric shape to fill in — so naming the colour and using the colour happen in the same movement.
  • Tracing lines for the Arabic name (أحمر) and the English name, side by side.
  • Shapes chosen to double as a shapes lesson: the child learns مثلّث and مربّع while colouring them.

How to use it

Colours are the fastest vocabulary a small child will ever acquire, because the word has something to point at in every room. Do the sheet, then spend the rest of the day naming things: the أحمر car, the أزرق cup. The sheet is the introduction; the naming is the lesson.

Do not correct the pronunciation while they are colouring. If they say a colour wrong, say it back correctly in your ordinary voice as part of your next sentence and carry on. They will hear the difference without being told they got it wrong — and a child who expects a correction stops volunteering the word.

Questions

Which colours are included?

The six a child uses most — red, blue, green, yellow, black and white. Those cover almost everything a toddler will want to name, and six is short enough to finish in a sitting, which matters more at this age than covering the full spectrum.

Can we hear the words rather than guess?

Yes — every colour on this site has recorded audio. Open the colours guide and tap each one; the worksheet and the recording use the same words, so what your child traces is what they hear.
