Toddlers – teaching about colors

Home and Household

Toddlers are interested in the world around them. They are inquisitive and eager to learn. Teaching a toddler something new isn't always easy - however because their attention spans are short and not all of them are ready for a 'lesson' just yet.If you plan teach your toddler all about the different colors, here is a great way to start.

The first activity you do together should be just fun, simple and basic.Find some crayons and either a coloring book or some plain white paper. Start with the  primary colors: red, yellow and blue.

Show your toddler each colored crayon, say the color to him, then together. If he does not want to say it, that’s okay – he is still learning by looking at the color and listening to you.

Choose a picture to color together.  Little boys enjoy coloring pictures of cars and trucks while little girls usually enjoy coloring images from fairy tales and princesses  -  at sites like Barbie Coloring Pages you’ll find the best Barbie coloring pages

If you are using white paper, let your toddler choose something to draw and color together. Now it’s coloring time!

As he colors the pictures, tell him what color he is using. Then attempt to say the name of the color together. Do not force him or her to tell you the color. This activity should be FUN for your child – not a military drill! Make sure to compliment his efforts by commenting as he colors, "What a pretty blue flower!” or “I love the way you colored the yellow sun.”

After you have colored together, make sure to put his picture on display somewhere prominent where visitors to your home can comment on it.This will give your child confidence and boost his or her self esteem – which is great for you because s/he will want to color and draw with you again – and you will have yet another opportunity to talk about colors together.

Once your toddler has mastered the basic red, ble and yellow – you can move on to other colors – don’t overwhelm him/her with the rainbow just yet!

Remember that crayons pose a choking hazard - so always supervise your child while he draws and colors.
