Second Colour Tablets Box in a child's hands
The Second Box of Colour Tablets brings the language of colour into one box: 22 tablets, a pair each of red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, brown, pink, grey, black and white. The child first matches the pairs, then learns the names, extending the precise vocabulary begun with the three primary pairs of the First Box. With eleven colours on the mat the matching becomes real visual work, and it prepares the eye for the graded shades of the Third Box, sold separately. Painted wooden tablets, for ages 3-6.
Visual Discrimination
Refines the ability to perceive and match increasingly subtle color variations, preparing for artistic and scientific observation.
Language Development
Introduces precise color vocabulary including orange, purple, pink, brown, and gray, enriching descriptive language skills.
Order and Classification
Develops systematic thinking through pairing, sorting, and organizing colors in the structured tray format.
How to present it
Place the box on a neutral-colored mat. Ensure good natural lighting without direct sunlight. Remove tablets carefully by holding the wooden frames, never touching the colored centers.
- 1Remove one tablet at a time, placing them randomly on the left side of the mat
- 2Select one tablet and place it in the center-top of the mat
- 3Scan the remaining tablets visually, then select its pair
- 4Place the matching tablet directly below the first, creating a vertical pair
- 5Continue pairing all tablets, arranging pairs from left to right
- 6When complete, gather tablets by pairs and return to the box
3 tips for parents
- Support color recognition at home by using precise color names during daily activities like choosing clothes or preparing food
- Avoid quizzing or testing; instead, make observations like 'I notice you chose the vermillion crayon for your sunset'
- Create a color collection basket where your child can gather objects matching the tablets they're working with at school

Frequently Asked Questions
What colors are included in the Second Box of Color Tablets?
The Second Box contains eleven pairs of colors: red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, pink, brown, gray, black, and white. Each color has two matching tablets for pairing activities.
How does this differ from the First Box of Color Tablets?
While the First Box introduces only the three primary colors (red, blue, yellow), the Second Box expands to eleven colors, including secondary colors, neutral tones, and additional hues for more advanced color discrimination work.
What activities can children do with the Second Box of Color Tablets?
Children match pairs, create color gradations, play distance matching games, learn color names in multiple languages, and explore color relationships. They can also combine with other materials for color sorting activities.
Why are the tablets designed with white frames?
The white frames isolate each color, helping children focus solely on the color itself without distraction. They also provide a consistent way to handle the tablets without touching the colored center, maintaining the material's pristine condition.
When should a child transition from the First to Second Box?
Children typically move to the Second Box after mastering the primary colors, usually around age 3-4. They should confidently match and name the primary colors before introducing the expanded color palette.
