Let's solve this step by step based on the instructions in the image. The task is to
color each shape according to its type, using the specified colors.
---
🔹 Step 1: Understand the Instructions
Each row has a specific instruction:
1.
Color all rectangle shapes orange.
2.
Color all oval shapes green.
3.
Color all heart shapes red.
4.
Color all circle shapes pink.
5.
Color all triangle shapes blue.
We’ll go through each row and identify which shapes match the category, then assign the correct color.

🔹 Step 2: Analyze Each Row
####
✔ Row 1: Color all
rectangle shapes
orange
- Shapes: Star, Rectangle, Heart, Rectangle
- Rectangles: 2nd and 4th shapes
-
✔ Color the two rectangles orange
####
✔ Row 2: Color all
oval shapes
green
- Shapes: Oval, Triangle, Oval, Circle
- Ovals: 1st and 3rd shapes
- Note: A
circle is not an oval (though sometimes people confuse them), but technically:
-
Oval = elongated ellipse
-
Circle = perfectly round
- So only the first and third are ovals.
-
✔ Color the two ovals green
####
✔ Row 3: Color all
heart shapes
red
- Shapes: Heart, Star, Oval, Heart
- Hearts: 1st and 4th shapes
-
✔ Color both hearts red
####
✔ Row 4: Color all
circle shapes
pink
- Shapes: Triangle, Circle, Circle, Heart
- Circles: 2nd and 3rd shapes
-
✔ Color both circles pink
####
✔ Row 5: Color all
triangle shapes
blue
- Shapes: Star, Triangle, Oval, Triangle
- Triangles: 2nd and 4th shapes
-
✔ Color both triangles blue

🔹 Step 3: Summary of Coloring
| Shape | Location (Row, Position) | Color |
|-------------|------------------------------|-----------|
| Rectangle | Row 1, 2nd & 4th | Orange |
| Oval | Row 2, 1st & 3rd | Green |
| Heart | Row 3, 1st & 4th | Red |
| Circle | Row 4, 2nd & 3rd | Pink |
| Triangle | Row 5, 2nd & 4th | Blue |
> ⚠️ Note: Some shapes appear multiple times across rows (e.g., star, oval, heart). But we only color them
if they match the current instruction.

🔹 Final Answer (What to Do)
You should:
-
Orange: The two rectangles in Row 1
-
Green: The two ovals in Row 2
-
Red: The two hearts in Row 3
-
Pink: The two circles in Row 4
-
Blue: The two triangles in Row 5
> 🌟
Important: Do not color a shape more than once. If a shape appears in multiple rows, it will be colored only when it matches the correct category.
For example:
- The
star appears in Rows 1, 3, and 5 — but stars are
not any of the requested categories →
leave uncolored
- The
oval appears in Rows 2, 3, and 5 — but only color it
green when it’s in Row 2 (where "oval" is asked)
- Similarly,
heart is only colored
red in Row 3
-
Circle only gets
pink in Row 4
-
Triangle only gets
blue in Row 5
---
✔ Conclusion
To complete the task correctly:
-
Color only the shapes that match the label in each row, using the specified color.
-
Ignore shapes that don’t match the current row’s category.
This is a sorting and identification exercise — great for learning shapes and following directions!
