Red apple. Blue sky. Yellow sun.

Where is something green?

Do it

  1. Pick one colour for the day, such as red. Name it whenever you see it: a cup, a shoe, a flower.
  2. Hold two things of different colours. Say “red” and “blue”, and let your child touch each.
  3. Go on a colour walk and point to green things.
  4. Tomorrow, pick a new colour.

Talk about it

For the grown-up

Colour words come slowly. Do not worry if your child mixes them up. Keep naming them in daily life.
