There are so many fun ways to teach children their colours – here are 8 ways that I used to teach my son!
Homemade Colour Book
This super simple colour book was made from paint swatches and stickers.
Colour Sorting with Water Beads
Water beads are great for working on fine motor skills, and after colouring them with food dye we had a great time sorting them!
Colour Sorting Cups
This is a great activity for young children to encourage them think about each colour.
Learning Colours with Brown Bear
This nine week series features the colours and animals from the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? Each week we studied a different animal from the book, with arts, crafts and activities to go with each one.
Colour Sorting with Trains
This activity incorporated my son’s favourite toys : trains!
Bean Bag Colour Match Game
I made some bean bags (tutorial included) and then my son got some good gross motor skills practice by trying to throw them into a large bowl of the same colour.
Mess Free Colour Mixing
Once my son had learnt the basic colours, the next stage was to learn about how to mix them! This is an easy mess-free way to mix primary colours, also incorporating the book Mouse Paint.
