Colors

Colors help kids understand and organize their world. Here you'll find several activities to learn the colors in a joyful way!

Learning the colors is an essential step in children’s development, and it proves to be influential in communication later in life.

Colors influence mood and opinions, and they may even affect people’s perception. For example, blue is associated with trust and stability, yellow with happiness and energy, and green is a color associated with peace and calmness.

Colors and shapes are the first characteristics that help organize and categorize the world children experience. It may seem like a simple process, but it’s the foundation for more complex operations like recognizing letters and numbers, hence the importance of teaching this topic during early childhood. Of course, there is more to colors than just knowing their names. Learning the many shades, hues, and tints also helps enhance children’s creativity in a superb way.

They’re an aid in creating associations between colors and events, like dark green for Christmas, and light green for Spring, and also when learning about art and culture. Learning colors names in English is also a great way for children to start shaping their personalities, their likes, and dislikes, which will make them unique individuals in the future. To make learning the colors easier, let’s divide them into three categories: primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors.
