All children develop as individuals. Parents and caregivers should use the age ratings below as a general guideline, taking the abilities, temperament and interests of their children into account.
- Age 2Â Â Â Â Introduction to colors -- can complete with adult assistance.
- Age 3Â Â Â Â Can complete with minimal assistance after directions are given.
- Ages 4-5  Can complete without assistance. Provides practice printing the words of colors.
Tracing activities develop a child's control of the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) improving hand/eye coordination.  Learning shapes and colors allows children to group or classify items -- children develop their ability to make logical connections -- a precursor to both math and language arts.
