When should a toddler know all of his colors? (age)?

Question

What about counting to 10?
What about abc's?

Answer 1

My son knew all of his colors before he was a year old. You could tell him to bring you a blue toy and he would. He couldn't talk his colors till about 15 months. He also counted to 10 before reaching 3. he is 3 and knows some of his abc's. every child learns differently. Don't rush them or get angry or you could slow their learning. Fimd creative ways to help them learn. By telling my son to get 2 diapers 1 for him and 1 for his brother, before he was potty trained, he learned and can now tell me 1 and 1 is 2

Answer 2

Having taught 1st grade for 5 years, I can tell you that there is a huge range for when children learn their colors. Some come into first grade not knowing more than a couple of colors (below average), while others, as you've read, know several colors by the time they're 2 years old. According to the website listed below, a child should be able to correctly name at least 4 colors by the end of 5 years. Check out more for other developmental milestones such as counting and abc's.
Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Every child is different. Anywhere between 2 and 4 is normal for the milestones you listed. A child might have the abcs down perfectly by 2, but not get colors or numbers until 4 1/2. All children will be ahead of the curve on somethings and late on others. Don't sweat it. They will learn all these things at their own pace.

Answer 4

It depends on the child... my daughter knows all her colors (she is 2 1/2) but most children are not expected to know them until they are nearer to 4. Many children (who have had no experience with school) don't know their colors until they attend kindergarten. Counting rote to ten can come between 2 and 4 also, with most children (if they don't have a speech problem) being able to do this at 3. Singing the ABCs is accomplished at age 3... they won't be able to recognize all the letters until around age 5-6.

Answer 5

My nephew just turned 3 and knows how to count to 10 in English and Spanish(although the Spanish is obviously memorization). He has known is colors for about 6 months or so, and he is just starting his ABC's..he gets to about h. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

My daughter could count to 10 before she was two and knew her colors at 2. She knew her ABC's before she was two also. She could also counto to 10 in Spanish by the time she was two. Everyone kid is different. I spend a lot of time with her and when she watches TV (Disney Channel, Noggin, and Baby Einstein Movies) I watch with her and discuss things with her so I think that helped.

Answer 7

I don't know the "shoulds" I only know my own child. She has known her colors reliably since about 2 1/2. She has been able to count to ten since two, though only now does she really "get it" about the value of the numbers (she is turning 3 in a couple weeks). She can sing her abc's but she does not "know" them.
Hope this helps you in gathering info.

Answer 8

Every child is different. My daughter knew her colors and could count to ten by the time she turned two. She learned the ABC song at 2 1/2 and is learning to recognize and trace them in nursery now. She's 34 months old. Every child is different but if you are concerned ask your pediatrician.

Answer 9

it all depends on exposure. a child at one year old can learn their colors or anything else that would be educational or that generally grasps their attention. a child is like a sponge if no type of substance is placed on the sponge it will not expand and the same applies to a child mind or learning ability. i'm only speaking from experience because i have a two year old son who knew his alphabets, numbers and colors a little after his 1st birthday.

Answer 10

between 21/2 and 3
