the best activitiy to help toddlers learn their colors?

Answer 1

ask them colors all the time on objects. "do you want the __ cup or the ____ cup?" tell them to show you [blue]. usually they will repeat the color word you say, and be happy when they get the answer the next time. Do it naturally, don't try to "teach" them. I found my child responded much better that way.

Answer 2

hmmm...Well I believe most of the time people present them with several colors at once. They show them a banana and say yellow, an apple red...etc. Maybe if you do a color per day. For example On Monday, you point out things that are blue. Look at the blue shirt. This pen is blue. That way they can make the connection of what all the objects have in common. If you show them a banana and an apple, they may see the difference as the shape, size, texture, etc. The next day, do a different color and also go back to blue. This will them allow to see that oh, we are looking at COLORS, not the shape, etc. Like I said, if you show them ONE color in several objects they can make the connection of what they have in common.

Answer 3

My aunt taught us a song in the preschool she ran called "Sing a Rainbow" She cut out streamers for each color and every time you sang the color, you wave the streamer. Here's how the song goes:

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too.

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your ears,
And sing everything you see,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing along with me.

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too!

Here's a link to get the melody. I know songs are a good way to remember, this song's stuck in my head since I was 4! I think you'll need Quicktime or something to here it.

I taught my girls their colors by buying colored plastic blocks and starting with red blue and green , I would sit with them 30 minutes a day and tell them what color they were and have them say it back.Slowly I added new colors , after they had mastered the original ones . I hope this helps .

Answer 5

Drawing. You could get crayons in different colors and draw with them, telling them the names of the colors and asking them what colors they are going to use next.
