Coloring Black Pictures Worksheet

Black is one of the first color words a young child learns, and it is a tricky one: a black object has almost no highlights, so children have to notice the color itself instead of the details. This coloring black pictures worksheet gives kindergarten students three short, hands-on ways to practice it, from writing the word to finding black things in a set of pictures.

The page has three parts. In Part A, children trace the word black and then write it on their own, using large handwriting lines sized for kindergarten. In Part B, they color three simple pictures of things that are black in real life: a car tire, a top hat and a graduation cap. In Part C, they look at four bright pictures and circle the two that are black, a rain boot and a bowling ball, next to a yellow lemon and a blue mug. It works well for morning work, a color center, homework or a quick check. Page two is a complete answer key.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Trace and write the color word black
• 3 pictures to color and 4 pictures to sort by color
• Answer key

Here are three reasons this page helps. First, children read, trace and write the color word, so the word and the color are learned together. Second, coloring real objects that are black ties the color to things children see every day. Third, circling the black pictures among other colors asks children to compare and choose, which builds the sorting skills used in early math.

At home or in class, go on a black hunt: look for black shoes, black letters on a page or a black car outside, and name each one. Sort a pile of crayons or blocks into black and not black. Play I Spy with colors only. Keep a copy of this coloring black pictures worksheet for a class color book, and this kindergarten colors worksheet page fits right in, one color at a time.
