Can your 2-3 year old tell the difference between colors?

Question

Another weird question for the child study.

Answer 1

My daughter knew her colors when she was around 18 months. I watch children in my home, one I keep right now is almost 2 and she is beginning to say colors and she usually gets them right. Another is 16 months and doesn't know them at all. I think it depends on the child and how much time the parents spend working with the child one on one.

Answer 2

Yes, my daughter is 2 1/2, and she knows all her color names and can identify them when you point to them and ask what they are. Granted, I am a preschool teacher, who talks alot to her kids... the same child also speaks in 10-15 word sentences- which is abnormal for the age. She also attends preschool 5 mornings a week in a language-based program.

Answer 3

YES! She's known her colors since about 1 or so. She just turned 3.

Answer 4

My son knew 7-8 colors at 18 months. He couldn't talk yet at the time, but I would ask "where's blue?" and he would point to the blue square or whatever, and we would do that for the rest of the colors, among objects, numbers, letters, etc.

Answer 5

Of course. I nanny for 3 year old triplets and they have known the basic colors for about a year and a half. In fact, they each have a favorite color.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

yes....my daughter will be 2 in a week and shes known the colors for a while

Answer 8

My daughter is 18 months and she can decifer between colors. She can't say all the colors yet. But she knows what they are.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Yea, He's known Primary and Secondary colors since about 15 Months old.
