Each card page has a two by two grid of cards under a small heading that says Colors, Color Flashcards or Colors for Kids. The shapes and the borders change from page to page, so no two pages look the same.

• Basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink.
• Extra colors: black, white, brown, gray, teal and aqua.
• Shapes: hearts, stars, circles, squares, ovals, rounded blobs and a leaf.
• Decoration: small hearts, stars, dots, waves and stripes around the color shape.

The color shape is the biggest thing on each card, and the word is printed in the same color or in a dark color next to it. A child can look at the shape and read the word in one glance.
