Description
This third book of this series was designed to provide practice in the three arts which the title, Color, Count, and Cut, suggests. The main focus, however, is on coloring exercises.
The large, simple pictures were chosen with the four-year-old in mind. The activities in this book not only provide practice in coloring pictures, but they should also help to reinforce the child's ability to distinguish the eight basic colors if that concept is not already established in your youngster.
Because most children this age cannot be expected to learn to recognize the actual color words, this book is designed with a color code using eight different geometric shapes, one for each of the eight colors introduced. This shape-color code is used throughout the book.
Toward the end of this book are a few pages of simple cut and paste exercises. Here again, you will want to provide guidance and assistance as the child encounters this first experience with scissors and glue.
How enjoyable these first experiences are will go a long way in laying the foundation for a healthy attitude toward future activities and work habits in general.
