Color Books for Toddlers

Are you looking for the best color books for toddlers?

This week the theme in our house is colors, so I'm on the hunt for the best color books for toddlers. I've had quite a lot of people in our Facebook Group ask for suggestions as well so I've put together my favorite color books for toddlers list for you. If there are any I've missed, I'd love for you to let me know.

My post on the 50 greatest books for toddlers is one of the most visited pages on this site, so I know that you all love books! Hopefully you'll love these color themed books as much as I do.

I find that the best value place to purchase books is normally Amazon (click on the links to take you straight to the book on Amazon) and if you do decide to order from there make sure you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon prime to receive free 2 day shipping on your order.   Your local library is also a great place to get these too.

Where is the Green Sheep

This is one of my all time favorite children's books. It was one that was given to my daughter when she was born and I've used it in early years classrooms for many years. There are lots of great crafts that are inspired by this book too. BUY NOW from Amazon 

You can also buy the matching green sheep toy too - get it here.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

There's a reason this was a New York Time's Bestseller and it's definitely one you'll fall in love with. This is such an easy book to find toddler activities to pair up with - simply grab your favorite crayons (I try to use washable crayons like these ones, because, well, toddlers!). You can grab your copy here.

We always like to get out the paints after reading this book. I like to use a large paintbrush and our toddler size easel for this and we act like 'real' artists!
