What the child does

Third Box Of Color Tablets in a child's hands

The Third Box Of Color Tablets moves colour work from matching to grading: within one colour family the child arranges the tablets from the lightest shade to the darkest. The eye learns to hold a small difference of tone in mind, and the vocabulary of lighter and darker, later of individual colour names, grows with it. It follows the first and second colour boxes and suits children from about three years who already pair colours confidently.

Telling shades apart

The child lines up seven shades of one color, darkest to lightest. This refines how well they see small differences in color.

A careful eye

The child compares tablets side by side and looks for the darker one. This practices observation and a feel for color nuances.

Words for shades

While ordering, you can name the steps: dark, darker, darkest and light, lighter, lightest. This builds the child's vocabulary.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Carry the box of tablets to a rug or table.

  1. 1Take all tablets of one color out of the box and lay them mixed up on the mat.
  2. 2Find the darkest and the lightest tablet and put them side by side to show the difference. Then mix them back in.
  3. 3Take the darkest tablet and place it in the top left corner of the mat.
  4. 4Keep choosing the next darkest and set it beside the last one until the whole row is done.
  5. 5Repeat with the other colors. Then let the child do the ordering alone.
  6. 6At the end, mix the tablets of each color and put them back in the box.
3 tips for parents
  • The child can spot a mistake in a row alone, because a wrong order looks uneven to the eye.
  • Once you have rows of several colors, try placing them side by side as a rainbow.
  • At home you can also order markers or colored pencils, if you have several shades of each color.
