A young child's memory is unique. It is like a sponge - it absorbs information about the world around it. It is not for nothing that they say that up to three years old the baby receives more information than in the subsequent years of his life. Therefore, teaching a child to recognize colors is not at all difficult.
Instructions
Step 1
You can start teaching your baby from six months. Try showing your child basic colors, for example, when you just carry the baby in your arms around the house or when you read books to him. When your child grows up a little, get ordinary, plain, plastic cubes, put them together with the child, put them on top of each other, while naming the colors. After a year, children usually independently show four colors on the cubes - red, green, blue, yellow. Of course, with the study of shades, you will have to wait until the baby grows up a little.
Step 2
There are special books - helpers. With these aids, it is easy to teach your child to recognize colors. Depending on the author-compiler, the methods can be varied. Most often, a poem is written on one page, in which one or another color appears, and on the other - objects, animals or clothes of this color. You can also try making cards with flowers, periodically showing them to the child and sounding them.
Step 3
The sorter is great for studying flowers, it also helps the baby to master the forms, develops fine motor skills. To consolidate the lessons, the parents of the boys can make colorful garages out of boxes, and in the evening, collecting toys, ask the child to put red cars in a red garage, blue in blue, etc. For girls, you can paint cans from under the infant formula in different colors, cut out various pictures from magazines, in a playful way ask the child to put the pictures in cans that match the color. At the request of parents, you can come up with many games that will help in learning. The most important thing is for the child to be interesting and fun, otherwise your efforts will be in vain.
Step 4
If a baby at 3-4 years old, despite the efforts made, does not recognize the colors, parents should consult a doctor. Perhaps the specialist will detect color blindness in the child. It should be noted that only boys are ill with color blindness, girls are only a carrier of the gene that provokes this disease.
