Activities for EYFS Areas of Learning

Skin -Colour Matching

Set out a number of nylon knee-high stockings in various shades, tan, black, white, pink, yellow, and red.

Encourage children to try them on their hands and arms or their legs and feet.

Ask questions to help the children increase their awareness of skin colour.

For example, "Can you find a stocking that is the same colour as your skin?"

Or "What colour is that stocking you have on your arm?"

Ask the children to "Try the _________ stocking. Is it lighter or darker than your own skin?"

Tell the children no one's skin colour is really white, pink, yellow, or red.

Emphasise that skin-colour differences are interesting and desirable.
