Activities
Find colors on your walk- talk about the colors of the cars and flowers ect.
Color bingo- Make a bingo flash card on white card stock by cutting squares
out of colored paper. Use stickers to mark the colors. You can play this at the
grocery store, in your house ect.
Color collection- Have a few bags to represent different colors. Go around
the house and collect the different colors and put them in their bags. You can
do one at a time or all at the same time.

mark specific color art work.

Green adventure- Make a little map to display where you are going. Ex of
and adventure (march on the green grass, under the green tree, eat the green
jelly bean, to the green fort/tent) You can make the ten with a green blanket,
sheet or towel.

Yellow flower search- This can be done on a walk around the neighborhood
or in a nursery. If you feel like doing more then searching you can plant one.

Orange fish where are you? - go to a pet store and look at the fish. Try to
find all the orange ones.
Red
Red car look out- This works well on a semi busy street. Side on the grass
or side walk and look for the red cars, vans and trucks. Say all the colors that
go by but when you see a red one to a special red car dance. YES you will
feel like a dork but it is very fun.
Games
Color Jump- Tape or place different color construction paper on the floor.
Then jump around and shout out the colors that you jump onto. You can
mix it up by telling your child what to jump on next.
Color Match- Use the color flash cards and things from around the house.
Ex show the red flash card and then have your child find something red
around the house. Let them do all the looking. Let them choose what they
want to match up. Bring everything together and talk about all the items they
found.
Find that color- Take turns shouting out a color. Everyone has to go and
find something that is the color that was shouted. Bring them all together
and and place them in different color piles. Use fruit, cloths, toys, books etc.

I would do the color lessons for a week or two.
Teaching can be easy and fun
Why shouldn't you have fun while you teach your kids the abcs, how to count or what animal says moo. I think that kids learn best when they are having fun. I am setting out to teach my one and a half year old. I want to teach him how to be a good friend, how to show love, all the animals that live on a farm and so much more. I am writing this blog not even knowing if anyone will read it but hoping someone will find inspiration to have fun while teaching their toddler.
