Preschool kids enjoy learning colors and everything related to them because bright colors attract and captivate them. Teachers or parents can take advantage of this while teaching kids about colors. It is best to begin with basic and bright colors when introducing colors and their names.

Here are a few tips and activities you can use to help students in learning colors.

Teach the Child’s Favorite Color First

Most children are exposed to colors at a very young age. However, they don’t know what the colors are called. Many children are attracted to one specific color, which you can use to your advantage. If you are a parent trying to teach your child colors and their names, start with the color they are most diverted towards.

You can do so by putting a bunch of colored pencils in front of the child and seeing which one the child gravitates towards first. For example, your child picks up a yellow colored pencil. You can start by asking them what it is. After they attempt to answer, you can say this is a yellow colored pencil.

Keep Practicing

After introducing children to one specific color, the best way to help them learn colors is to keep repeating the color’s names.

Teachers can do so by presenting students with different objects of the same color. Moreover, parents can do so by pointing at anything yellow. For example, if you take your child out on a stroll, point toward everything yellow and ask your child to tell you what color it is.

Go One Color at a Time

The best way to ensure children learn colors and their names effectively without confusion is to go one color at a time. If you bombard children with various colors in the same lesson, they likely won’t remember any name at the end. Therefore, taking it slow is the best way to ensure no confusion between colors.

Once you ensure that a child remembers what yellow color looks like and how it’s spelled, you can then move on to teaching the next color.

Activities to Learn and Name Colors

Another great way to help children in learning colors and their names is to make them practice with different fun activities. Here are a few activities you can use:

• Grab a few colored yarns. For example, you are focusing on the color yellow. You can put the colored yarns in a basket and place them in front of the child. Next, pick up the yellow-colored yarn and say, this yarn is yellow. Next, you can give the child the basket and ask them to pick out yellow. Try out this activity with different objects such as balls, play dough, or stuffed toys
• Use color puzzles to practice colors. You will find various types of color puzzles in the market. Color puzzles are fun, and they will help your child quickly grasp colors and their names
• Come up with a sorting colors activity. Get a bunch of colored crayons and put them in front of the child. Next, you can tell them to sort colors out. While the child sorts the colors out, focus on your target color and ask them questions like show me yellow
• Coloring books are a must when teaching color. Coloring books will also help students practice coloring. You can place a coloring book and colored pencils in front of the child and tell them to color the diagram yellow or any other color you are focusing on
