Move in the direction and color of the arrows
These worksheets are meant for PreK to KG2 kids. The tasks are one of the very first activities that kids can do. To be more specific, the kids only need to know colors and understand arrows. By using these sheets, the kids can practice coding, sequencing, directions, and colors. Therefore, by introducing the kids to programming, they also practice and review other important areas of development. In my experience, most kids will solve a worksheet in 5-10 minutes.
