COLOR TABLETS
The Color Tablets are a sensorial material. The work gives the
child the opportunity to explore shades of color from darkest to
lightest. The material builds the skill of grading items by color
while building concentration and eye-hand coordination.
1. Choose one set of primary color tablets and
remove them from the box, and place them on the rug.
2. Locate
the darkest color tablet in this set and place it to the left
side of the rug under the box. Locate the lightest tablet in
this set and notice the contrast. Place the lightest color tablet
to the right side of the rug.
3. Scan
the remaining tablets in this set and locate the next darkest;
place it just to the right of the darkest tablet. Continue this
process, grading the remaining tablets from darkest to lightest
horizontally across the rug.
4. Now
choose another set of primary color tablets and remove them from
the box, and place them on the rug. Continue the process as before,
grading the colors and placing them from darkest to lightest
horizontally across the rug.
5. Continue
to remove sets of color tablets from the box, one set at a time
moving from primary colors to the secondary colors. Each time
you will place the tablets, darkest to lightest horizontally
on the rug.
6. Once
you finish the primary and secondary sets, you may choose to
do the other sets in order of choice.
7. Once
each set has been graded, darkest to lightest on the rug pause
to notice the colors, the different shades and the beauty of
the variety of colors.
8. You
may now place the sets one at a time back into the box, placing
them in random order of shades as you put them in their space
in the box.
An extension work the child can do is to paint their shades darkest
to lightest. They could also take the tablets to match to colors
in the classroom.
