Print the pages back to back ('Duplex: short edge binding&' on some printer settings) to make your own Colour Book. I made this book for my EAL children as they came in with knowing no colour names. The last few pages of the book allowed the children to draw or stick in objects of that particular colour.
I ended up having to print a book for my whole class as everyone wanted one.
They really liked the book and I hope your children will too :)
