10 Preschool Songs About Colors
Preschoolers LOVE songs and I believe it is very important to bring music into the preschool classroom or home preschool. I have shared these 10 preschool transitions, but today I am getting more specific and sharing 10 Preschool Songs About Color. At the end of this post is a free printable for the PDF versions of these songs. I hope these songs will be helpful to you!
The Color Song — This song is a great song to start out your preschool day! It also has a lot of words that rhyme, which is an important skill for preschoolers to practice.
Pass the Color — This song is also a game. While you sing the song, sit in a circle and pass the crayon around until the song stops. Once the song stops, have the that child tell you what the color is.
What Color Are You Wearing? — This song helps identify which colors a child is wearing. You can vary the colors with this song and have children transition out after their color is called.
We Love Color! — This is just a fun song for reciting the different color names.
A Color Chorus — This song is used for helping children identify colors. Simply place crayons in front of them and have them pick out the color that you sing about.
Color of Your Clothes — This is another song on identifying the colors a child is wearing. It also gets kids moving and is interactive.
Rainbow Song — A fun song about the rainbow!
Oh, Rainbow! — Another colorful rainbow song!
Five Little Crayons — This is actually a chant and a cute story about 5 crayons!
Color Chant — I really love this chant! Whenever we sing it, it gets stuck in my head! Kids will really get into this one, too!
It was so fun to compile this list of color songs! Which one is your favorite? Do you have another color song to share? Please tell me in the comments!

I have been asked to prepare a music program for children and families at a community centre that supports vulnerable families. This resource is just what I need – thank you so much, it will make a difference to the development of our young ones and provide a sense of joy, not to mention language development for our new Australians (both Mums and toddlers).
Would I be able to upload some of these to a ClassDojo stories????
Sure!
Here’s a traditionally older one I have used before:
“”Mary” wore her “red” shirt(or dress, or pants)
Red shirt,red shirt. Mary wore her red shirt all day long.”
The song continues using all the friends in the circle with the different colored clothes they are wearing that day.
Thank you, I love these songs and will use them in my Wednesday Wiggler Program in the Library.
I’m supposed to teach a lesson in a nursery school. I think I’ve just found my topic for the day.
How cool are these songs that you have selected, the kids love to sing, so they learn singing quickly about the colors
Thanks! I am an elementary art teacher, and we do rotations with students. I was searching for some fun songs my kindergarteners can sing on the rug while I collect the paintings from the last group and reset the tables. Thanks for making me the list – this will be an awesome start!!
Great! Glad to hear they will be helpful!
