Shoes and Socks to Colour and Match

This EYFS /KS1 resource helps children to develop colour and pattern recognition, matching skills, and creativity through a fun activity involving footwear.
It includes coloured images and black-and-white outlines of socks, shoes, boots, and stockings. Children colour the black-and-white outlines to match the coloured images, then use blank templates to create their own designs.
This activity enhances skills in art and design and matching while promoting self-expression and creativity.
Materials needed are printed sheets of images and templates, and colouring tools.
Extension activities like pattern creation, a fashion show, and story time could add further engagement.
