Inside: This bear color matching activity is a fun addition to your toddler and preschool hibernation theme. Download the free printable and place the bears in their matching colored caves!

For toddlers and preschools, hands-on color matching activities are a great way to work on color recognition skills.

This free printable activity is loved by young children because they are tucking bears into their matching caves for a long winter’s sleep.

It’s a perfect addition to a hibernation theme, or after reading a story about a teddy bear.

What you will need:

  • Bears and Caves Color Matching Printable (Scroll Down to Find Download)

Assembling this activity:

After downloading the pdf, make copies and cut apart each bear.

Independent play:

Place the bears in a container. Put the container and the 4 caves on a table.

As the child pulls out a bear, they will identify the color and place it in the matching cave.

Do this until all the bears are in their caves.

Circle time or small groups:

Gather your children and place the 4 caves on the floor or table, so all the children can easily see them.

Hand each child a bear and, one by one, invite them to place their bears in the matching colored caves.

Adding counting to this activity:

Invite your children to count the bears in each cave.

To add a challenge, provide a different amount of bears for each cave. Then ask the children which cave has the most bears? Which one has the least?

Modifications:

Rather than using the paper bears from the printable, use counting bears that are the same colors as the caves.
