Helping Your Child Learn Colors

Color All Around. According to Dr. Alfano, the whole world is your textbook when it comes to teaching colors. "There's color all around us: in nature, in toys, on the baby's clothing, in the house. The most important thing is just to talk about the color around you. Say, 'I'm putting on your blue sock,' as you're dressing your child, for instance." 

Dr. Alfano suggests a trip to the supermarket as a great place for an informal color lesson. "There are red, green, and yellow apples," she explains, "green bananas and yellow bananas, a whole rainbow of colors in the flower section. Take advantage of these colors in your everyday life. Start by pointing out the simple colors first, since children seem to recognize bright, primary colors faster." 

At School. Pre-schools and kindergartens sometimes feature a color of the day, and you can do a similar project at home. Tell your child that it's going to be red day, and you're going to wear red clothes and eat a red apple. The next day choose blue. 

"And when your toddler reaches age three or so, he'll love experimenting with different colored crayons," says Dr. Alfano. (And who doesn't remember colors like “burnt sienna” from their childhood crayon box?) "If you decide to give your child crayons before age three, just make sure you monitor them well," she advises. "Walls can look just as interesting as a piece of paper to very young children!"
