Colors: Blue

If your child has now reached that stage when he is supposed to start learning about colors and differentiating them then you need to start teaching him with the basics. You see, there are so many colors out there and you cannot expect your child to pick on all the colors at the same time, right? Well, this is the reason why the wiser thing to do is to first start with the basic colors that are red, blue, yellow and green.These colors are easier to learn and well, this is where everyone takes the start. Now, speaking of teaching colors, let’s suppose you want to tell your child about the color “blue”. Now, what exact measures and steps will you take to make him understand which color is the “blue” color? Well, if you don’t know then here’s what you need to do. You need to use visuals to make your little one memorize the color blue.
If your kid is at that stage when he is supposed to learn about colors and their names then know that you as a parent or a teacher need to use as many visuals as you can. Speaking of teaching colors, let’s suppose you are currently focusing on “red”. Use different examples, make him watch different videos about the color red and then move towards the point where you test him. Use DIY color books, makeup and sing some songs and rhymes and opt for hand painting to make this learning process fun for your kid.With a little practice and some hand painting, your kid will surely learn about the color red within no time and once he reaches that stage, you then can move to other colors like blue and green, etc. Moreover, you can even tell about the color red to your child by pointing out his/her favorite dress.
If you think it’s high time to teach your child about different colors then make sure to start with the basics ones that are blue, black, green, yellow, white. Yes, you read that right, you see, your child’s brain is too small at the moment and he can memorize limited things so don’t try to stuff his brain and start slow! Today in this article we are going to talk about the yellow color and how you can tell your kid about this color. You see, you can’t just tell your little one about colors via text, in fact, you need to show them again and again what yellow color looks like and how is it different from the other colors. Now, in this case, you can do so much to teach your little one that you have no idea. For starters, colors are all about visuals so make your child watch some good Youtube videos about the color yellow and we assure you that this technique will really be effective for them. These videos can do wonders to your child’s brain and they surely work so don’t forget to try this technique.
