About this word search
Colour names are among the first written words many young children learn, often from crayon labels or a picture book. Red is three letters, and Blue and Pink are four, which makes them a gentle start.
All ten colours lie in straight lines, either along a row from the left or down a column from the top. Yellow has a double L, and Orange and Purple are six letters each, so they take a little longer.
Afterwards, colour in each circled word with the matching crayon. White is the tricky one, and children usually have a theory about how to show it.
