- ☀️ Needs a window
To play color hunt in the car, tap the card on this page and Peabody says a colour, like green. Everyone looks for something that colour, inside the car or out of the window, and points to it: "a green tree!" When everyone has found one, tap for the next colour. It's a first car game for toddlers and preschoolers, and teaches colour names as you go.
- Tap for a colour. Peabody says it.
- Everyone looks for something that colour, inside or outside the car.
- Point and say what you found. Then tap for the next colour.

How to play Color Hunt, the long way
Tap for a colour. A big patch of the colour comes up on the screen with its name, and Peabody says it, so a child who doesn't know the word yet can match it.
Everyone finds something that colour. Inside the car counts: a shoe, a seat belt, a sticker. Outside counts too, if it stays in sight long enough to point.
Some cards ask for three things of one colour, or two colours at once, for children who find it easy.
Colour names are among the first words a toddler learns, and a moving car is full of them: the red of a stop sign, the green of a field, the yellow of a school bus, the blue of the sky. Color hunt turns the window into a picture book. Say the colour, point at the find, and cheer. That's the whole game, and for a two-year-old it's plenty.
By age
🧸 3–5: Made for twos to fives. Hold up the phone so they can see the colour patch.
🎒 6–9: Six to nine can find three things each, or things outside only.
🎧 10+: Big kids can be the colour caller for a younger sibling.
When it goes wrong
- Nothing that colour anywhere: anything close counts, or tap for a new colour.
- A little one says the wrong colour name: say the right one gently and cheer the find.
- It's dark outside: inside the car only, with the light on, or switch to Animal Sounds.
Questions families ask
What age is color hunt for?
Two to six. It's a good first game before I Spy.
How is it different from I Spy?
Nobody keeps a secret. Everyone hunts at once, which is easier for little ones.
