Young children are able to recognize various stimuli not with at one glance for everything but they selectively recognize any section or each another part. These phenomenons are caused to the young children’s personal difference and the peculiarity of stimulus itself. So, to know about young children’s perception system and tendency, we can make deduction young children’s perception system and tendency and can help to understand conception of teaching tools and studying media for young children. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the young children’ general preference of dimensional stimulus when young children contact with stimulus which compound two-dimensional stimulus of form versus color.
      The subject of study is consisted of 160 young children of full three years old, four years old, five years old and six years old. With based on means used in the previous study toward each boys and girls, the subject of this study was classified the masculinity and femininity according to age group with executing the toy preference test made by this researcher. And this study was measured personally such a classified young children with tools compounded with form versus color, seems to be rare, made by the researcher. Data dealings were adapted the repeated measurement procedure of MANOVA in SPSS. And a result of this study is as follows:

1. It represents that the difference of form versus color dimensional preference is statistically significant. That is to say, three years old young children preferred color to form and young children of four, five and six years old preferred form to color
2. It represents that form versus color dimensional stimulus preference has not any statistically significant differences according to biological distinction of sex but significant differences in sexual identity. Namely, young children in the masculinity group preferred form to color, and young children in the femininity group didn’t show any difference but they have to us difference in sexual identity, that is, the masculinity young children group preferred color to form.
3. It represents that the sexual identity in the form versus color dimensional stimulus preference is different from the age group. For in young children of three years old, the femininity group has no difference and the masculinity group preferred color to form. And for in young children of four, five, six years old, the femininity group also has no difference and the masculinity group preferred form to color.
