What’s on the pink worksheet

Trace pink, circle the pink things among eight pictures, colour the dotted squares to find a hidden tulip and trace “A pig is pink.”

  • Cherry blossom, roses and tulips
  • Watermelon flesh and strawberry milkshake
  • Bubblegum and candy floss (cotton candy)
  • The inside of a shell and some sunsets

Mixing pink

Pink is made by mixing red and white paint. More white makes a pale baby pink; more red makes a bright, hot pink. A tiny drop of blue gives a cooler, purple-pink.

Shades of pink

Pale pinks include baby pink and blush. Bright pinks are hot pink and fuchsia. Salmon and coral are pinks with a little orange in them.

Activity: Make your own pink

Put a blob of white paint on a plate. Your child adds red one dot at a time, stirring each time, and paints a stripe after every dot. The stripes go from palest pink to nearly red.

Talking about pink

Pink is a colour for everyone. Use it naturally: “Your tongue is pink”, “Look at that pink flower”. Linking it to bodies, food and nature keeps it a simple describing word.

Pink questions

Is pink a real colour?

Yes. Pink is a pale tint of red. In paint, you make it by adding white to red, so it is not on the basic rainbow but it is still a colour we see and use every day.

Why are flamingos pink?

Flamingos eat tiny shrimp and algae that contain natural pink colouring. Without that food, their feathers would slowly turn pale.
