Hello everyone, for those who already follow me, you know that I work with kids. I have a class of 12 2 year old boys. Today we were giving the colors, many already know all the colors but some still have a lot of difficulty so I decided to do this activity anyway!!!
As it is spring i decided to print two spring flowers for them to paint accordingly with the butterfly. I explained to them that the flower that has the yellow butterfly has to be painted in yellow and the one that has the blue butterfly has to paint the flower in blue.
they love to paint, they were super happy doing the work. I love what I do and the best and when I see them happy 💖💖💖
Learning colors is an important step in any child's first learning
Learning colors is an activity that promotes the development of essential skills in childhood. In fact, when a child paints and explores colors, he works in areas as diverse as coordination, concentration, motor skills, expression, among others.
It is actually possible to teach a child colors from an early age. Around the age of two, a child can learn colors and create connections in their brain that allow them to identify them. But how can children learn colors?
4 TIPS FOR CHILDREN TO LEARN COLORS
- Use the color associated with an object For example, if you are saying banana, say: this is a banana and it is yellow in color. Remember that the more different examples of the same color you present to a child, the more easily he will understand what you want to convey.
- Knowing that using verbal language will not always be the right choice In fact, the child starts by being able to point out a color before being able to say it. Therefore, showing instead of verbalizing can be a way to start teaching colors to a very young child. Children can, in fact, understand colors from about four months old, but it takes a little longer to associate a color name with that feature on an object.
- Start with the basic colors and gradually add new ones Start by teaching the basic colors: blue, red, yellow, black, white. Then gradually add other colors. Each week you can add a new color to this set. You can do, for example, the week with the orange color, then the week with the pink color, and so on.
- Introduce the child to several formats where a given color appears Effectively, if you use more formats where the same color appears, such as different textures, it will be easier for the child to memorize the colors.
These are important tips that should be used so that a child can learn colors from an early age. These are practical ideas that, as a father, mother, educator, assistant, you should take into account when exploring this topic, never losing sight of the idea that each child has their own pace of learning, and that it must be respected by all students. stakeholders in their educational process.
