Colours everywhere
Read together
Red apple. Blue sky. Yellow sun.
Where is something green?
Do it
- Pick one colour for the day, such as red. Name it whenever you see it: a cup, a shoe, a flower.
- Hold two things of different colours. Say “red” and “blue”, and let your child touch each.
- Go on a colour walk and point to green things.
- Tomorrow, pick a new colour.
Talk about it
- What colour is your cup?
- Can you find another red thing?
For the grown-up
Colour words come slowly. Do not worry if your child mixes them up. Keep naming them in daily life.
