This collection of colors flashcards contains 15 sets of large and printable bright-colored cards.
Each set includes sixteen cards featuring major colors of the rainbow spectrum.
There are 15 sets to choose from. Browse through each of them and choose the design that appeals most to you.
There are two types of sets:
- Color word and image are on separate cards. This is so you can play matching games like Memory! which challenge older children who are learning to read (e.g. Kindergarten and Grade 1) to match the word to the color.
- Color word and image are on the same card. These are generally useful for toddlers or younger children learning colors through daily exposure to the flashcards (i.e. rote learning).

I thought balloons would be a cute idea and have found visitors love balloon designs on other worksheets on this site, so it was naturally my pick for design number 2.

I came up with the cars idea because my son is always yelling out car colors as we drive down the highway. It’s a common color learning game out in the “real world”, so I thought these flashcards would help support and link to that game well.

Another early way children play with colors is through drawing – enter: colored crayons! The thing I like about this set is you can also get out real crayons and get your child to match the card to the correct crayon.

This teddy bear idea came from the desire to come up with a design that was “cute” and also linked to children’s real lives – nearly every kid has a teddy bear!

This last set is one I put together before including the nouns in the cards, so I figured I’d upload it in case you’d prefer balloon cards that say the color (e.g “green”) rather than “green balloon”.
