Description

Crosscolors is a unique puzzle developed by us that is a mixture between crosswords and basic color practice. Instead of having to spell a “word”, like with crosswords, you need to draw the colors that make up an image in the spaces behind it! As expected, every space can only contain a single color, so you need to also be a little smart with the order in which you draw them.

This mixture creates a real challenge that not only tests if an Apprentice can recognize and name their colors, but also the start of logical thinking and problem solving. All of that can be done with just a basic set of coloring pencils and nothing else. There’s not even a need to color inside the lines.

We’re very proud that we were able to create a puzzle that works based on color, which can already be enjoyed by very young kids. It does require printing in color, of course, using a printer of somewhat acceptable quality.

Subject: Mathematics

The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.

This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:

This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.

Faction: Puzzlepages

This resource is part of the Puzzlepages Faction.

But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!

You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.

Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.

For example,

Charm: Educational Puzzle

This product is part of the Educational Puzzle charm.

Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:

Educational Puzzles are logic puzzles meant to build and strengthen specific skills. They are physical puzzles that must be played with pen and paper or by moving physical pieces.

Famous examples of such puzzles are Sudokus or Crosswords, but our resources show you can take it much further.

Spell: My First Colors

This resource is part of the My First Colors topic (or "spell").

To learn mathematics, you need to be able to identify, compare, and group things. Colors are the easiest way to do this, because they’re visual and all around you. Teaching about colors allows Apprentices to play games or do puzzles, as well as unlock their creativity by drawing.

Try another approach?

The Faction (or "product type") of this product is Puzzlepages.

This approach might work for some Apprentices but not for others! That's why we recommend exploring each topic in a variety of ways.

Maybe a (different) game works better? Or a quiz, story, or escape room? Below are some random suggestions.
