When does a child normally learn animal sounds and colors?

Answer 1

These are age appropriate guidelines from the HELP (Hawaii Early Learning Profile) Assessment for birth to 3 years of age: Animal sounds come before colors, and recognizing them comes before being able to repeat them or say them. Somewhere between 29 and 33 months a child should be able to match primary colors and black and white. By 33 months, they should be able to point to and separate colors when asked. Between the ages of 18-22 months they should be able to match at least two animal sounds (you say, "What says woof woof" and they are able to point to a dog). By 24 months, they should be able to answer, "What sound does this animal make?" when you point to a picture of one. By 36 months, they should be able to answer you with any of these questions with more than a yes or no.

Answer 2

That depends on the child. When my daughter was a couple months old, my dad bought animal flash cards, and sat with her for hours at a time showing her the animal and telling her the sound, or action ( puppy "woof", butterfly "fly away", crayfish "pinch Pinch", skunk "peehew!", etc...) By the time she was 9 months old, she was talking and telling anyone who would ask, exactly which animal was which, and the sound that it made. It was amazing and totally cute. My dad was totally devoted to her, and his teaching paid off.
I have two sons, who unfourtunately did not have this advantage, and my eldest son didn't know until about the age of three. My youngest son is 10 months old, and learning.

Answer 4

Point different colors out and make animal sounds while showing an example of the animal as young as possible; they will eventually know it themselves. When they're too young to talk, you can still show them. Different babies learn at different rates, but a child should definitely know them by age 3.

Answer 5

The child learns the basics of life. We all start learning this way. We learn that we are human, have hands & feet, have parents and other family members...and then later on we learn that there are animals in our house, other people's houses, and around the world. And, we learn the names of the different colors that we see. So we know how to describe them.

It's all just the fundamentals of learning. And to learn the blocks, we have to start somewhere. And there's only one place to start anything. In the beginning.

Answer 7

There's a wide range of normal. If a child doesn't know colors by the time they start kindergarten, it is cause for concern (or, alternately, to suspect color blindness). However, that presumes that someone has sat with them and looked at books, pointed out colors, etc.

Answer 8

sounds-1-2, colors 2-3

Answer 9

my kids did at 1 1/2 and 2

Answer 10

My daughter learned them between the age of 1 and 2. We got lots of books and tapes and cd's and she listened to them and we played with her and made it fun. The more fun she was having the more she was learning. I think it is how interesting and fun you make it.
