Coloring Purple Pictures Worksheet

Purple is a fun color word for young children to learn, and it shows up in grapes, plums, crayons and cozy mittens. This coloring purple pictures worksheet gives kindergarten students three short, hands-on ways to practice the color, from writing the word to finding purple things in a set of pictures.

The page has three short tasks. To start, children trace the word purple and then write it on their own, using large handwriting lines sized for kindergarten. Next, they use a purple crayon to color three simple pictures: a plum, a bunch of grapes and a crayon. Last, they look at four bright pictures and circle the two that are purple, a mitten and a mug, next to a yellow lemon and an orange basketball. 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 purple
• 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 purple ties the color to things children see every day. Third, circling the purple 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 purple hunt: look for a purple shirt, a purple flower or a purple toy, and name each one. Sort a pile of blocks or buttons into purple and not purple. Play I Spy with colors only. Keep a copy of this coloring purple pictures worksheet for a class color book, and this kindergarten colors worksheet page fits right in, one color at a time.
