Colour & Colour Mixing Cards

Colour & Colour Mixing Cards

A simple, visual set of colour cards made to be used within play, not just displayed on the wall.

This 6 page printable set begins with individual cards for red, yellow and blue, giving children a clear visual reference alongside different marks, textures and the prompt “Can you find something…?”  The remaining cards introduce early colour mixing, showing children what happens when they combine red + yellow, yellow + blue and red + blue to discover orange, green and purple.

Pop them beside the easel, add them to a painting invitation, take a colour card outdoors for a colour hunt, pair them with loose parts or simply leave them somewhere children can independently revisit them. They give just enough of a prompt to spark noticing, predicting, experimenting and conversation without turning creative play into a lesson.

Designed for childminders, nurseries, preschools, classrooms and home learning, with plenty of scope to adapt them for different ages and stages.
