Easy and Fun Activities for Teaching Colors
I love this stage of learning, where everything is new and exciting. In fact, today I am going to share with you easy and fun ways for Teaching colors. Toddlers are naturally attracted to bright things, so why not use that excitement to teach them.
Learning colors is an abstract concept for young children and can take a lot of time and patience. Some kids may pick it up quick, and others might take a year or more to fully understand the difference in colors and be able to name them. The best thing is to apply color learning and activities in your everyday life.

Teaching Colors to Toddlers
Easy DIY Color Wheel!
Instructions:
-
- Trace a large circle onto a piece of cardboard (I used a large bowl that I had as my guide)
-
- Cut 6 pieces of different colored felt into triangles (try to make them close to the same size)
- Spray the cardboard circle with spray adhesive than tack down each triangle piece.
Our favorite blocks are the Guidecraft Rainbow Blocks. The kids will play with them for hours. I love how you can place the blocks one in front of another and make a different color. It’s awesome!
Color mixing with out any mess. They also are incredibly beautiful when the sun is shining through them. These blocks light up the whole room with colors.
Watching the children explore these blocks on their own is a lovely sight.
