Weekly Learning - Colors:

Day 1: Songs

Click on the following links for two really cute songs that will help your toddler learn or review colors:

Flower Song

Balloon Song

Butterfly Color Song

*Tips: - When first teaching colors to your toddler, press pause after each color so they can have time to                   practice saying it and solidifying it in their mind.
       
           - I also have turned the sound off while it goes through the song so they can't hear the word of                       the color being shown. This helps test them to see if they really know it without hearing it!

Day 2: Activity

Hide-n-seek Colors:

Cut colored pieces of paper into circles, or you could use whole sheets of paper so you can reuse them. Hang the different colored papers around the room and ask them to find each color.

For younger toddlers that don't quite grasp the hide-n-seek concept yet, just hang the paper in plain sight, on the walls or on the couch, etc. . .

Day 3: Get Out or Review

Just go on a walk to the park or around your neighborhood. Especially pay attention to colors. Stop and ask your toddler what they see and ask them what color it is.

This is fun, gets you out of the house and helps your toddler solidify their colors!

Day 4: Around the house

Paint! I know this can get messy but it's really fun for toddlers :) It's most definitely an activity that I have to do with my toddler when my 7 month old is taking a nap!

Let them "paint" a picture with each of the colors. Mix different colors to create new colors! To them, it's like magic! They'll love it.
