Tap the Color
focus game for kids 4+
You call a color, your child taps it with the matching hand.
In short
In Tap the Color, you call out a color and your child taps the circle of that color with the matching hand. The activity suits preschoolers and only needs a printed sheet and crayons. It practices listening closely, waiting a moment instead of jumping ahead, and telling left from right.
