- Identification of colours
- Matching colours
- Hand-eye coordination
- Basic counting skills (if the child counts the figurines)
- Introduction to shapes (if the figurines are different shapes)
To continue developing the child's artistic skills, you can:
- Introduce different materials such as paint, crayons, or markers for the child to create their own colourful designs
- Encourage the child to create their own figurines using playdough or clay
- Introduce more complex shapes and patterns for the child to match and create
- Use the coloured squares as a base for creating a larger art project, such as a collage or mosaic
