Learning colors through sorting

Sorting gives a color a purpose: an object belongs with other objects sharing that feature. Name the color as you move it.

Worked example

A red triangle and a red circle can share a basket even though their shapes differ. Compare color first, then try a shape rule.

Try it step by step

1. Color Baskets

   Sort each token into its matching color basket.

2. Color Laboratory

   Mix the paints in the recipe to create the target color.

3. Wagon Train

   Add the wagon that continues the pictured pattern.

A useful hint

Do not rely on color alone. PlayPeblo adds symbols so the matching rule remains visible when colors are hard to distinguish.
