With all the time we’ve been spending at home , I’ve started creating my own fun and engaging printables for my daughter. These help keep my preschooler learning and having fun while we make the most of our self-isolation.
My 4.5 year old is constantly on the move which makes concentrating and focusing on one activity difficult. So, I am so excited that these count and color activities hold her attention for a at least a half hour
She confidently exclaimed that she “loves” coloring her fruits and veggies. So, I’d say that this count and color fruit and veggie activity is a huge win in our house!
Since she loved counting, coloring and practicing her fruit and veggie vocabulary so much I decided to share this printable with you all too!

If you have a child who is a fluent reader you can use the difficult version because it encourages reading skills. So, in addition to numeracy, sorting and coloring your child will be encouraged to read colors too.
And, for younger kids who are not yet reading independently the easy version is best. The easy version of this counting and coloring activity includes color coding for kids who are not yet able to read written colors.
Supplies That You’ll Need For The Counting & Coloring Activity
This count and color activity requires very little in the way of supplies.
