To assist you, here are some tips to help your child recognize
and identify colors.

color.

Babies love anything that’s colorful. Whether its balloons,
toys, stuffed animals, dolls or blocks – they seem to hone in
on bright colors such as red, blue and yellow. With Easter soon
approaching, it is the perfect time to introduce them to a
myriad of colors via Easter eggs. Another approach is to take
them to a park where all of the swings and see-saws are
brightly colored. Or a stroll in your garden is another perfect
to show them bright colors as well.
As your child points to an object, verbalize the color and what
the object is as well. Keep repeating the color over and over as
you point to it. If your child calls an object another color
than what it is, just verbalize the correct color and
eventually he or she will make the connection. Also, you can
show your child different stuffed animals in a toy store which
have brightly colored attire.
While these tips to help your child recognize colors are just
the starting point, you can also use other tools which are also
available in the learning process. Baby food is another way in
which you can present colors to your child. If you take your
child to the zoo; there are so many colors you can share with
your child. Take out your tin of buttons. These are a wonderful
tool to demonstrate different colors to your child. Also, if you
use scrunchies, show them to your child as well. Making the
association between the color and the object is an important
component in the child’s learning process. It’s important to
make it fun for the child. In this way, every association made
will be invoke a happy memory later on.
