Gumball Machine

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a color-by-number activity focused on primary colors, featuring an illustration of a gumball machine. The top of the worksheet provides a space for the student to write their name, personalizing the task. Each gumball within the machine is marked with a number that corresponds to a color code provided at the top: 1 for red, 2 for blue, and 3 for yellow. The student’s task is to color each gumball according to these number-color associations.

The worksheet aims to teach students about primary colors and their identification through a color-coding system. By matching numbers to colors, it reinforces number recognition and the concept of following instructions. The activity also serves as an introduction to the idea that specific colors are considered primary in the color spectrum. Additionally, coloring within the lines of the small gumball shapes can help enhance the students’ fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
