Coloras Colors
Grades Pre-School-
Kindergarten
This series for pre-school and Kindergarten is a
playful, interactive romp into the world of colors.
Colora is a perky paintbrush who cheerfully mixes
up colors selected by a spinning color wheel and
then applies the color to appropriate drawings that
spring to life. The color wheel and distinguishing
between primary and secondary colors are concepts clearly presented in these ten 90-second clips. The programs are highly interactive, inviting viewers to respond to the action on the screen.
Produced by Destiny Images 2002.
