Paint Sample Color Seriation

This is a freebie activity! Next time you are at a home supply store or any store that carries paint, pick up doubles of a few paint sample cards.

For younger kids:

With one card, leave whole.

With its match, cut apart.

Match the cut-outs to the whole card.

For older kids:

Use cut apart cards with no reference card to match to. It's tricky- the more shades on the card, the more visual discrimination comes into play.

Storage Idea: Envelopes

*Variation: Seriate sandpaper by roughness, fabric by texture, objects by physical characteristics like height or weight.
