Here are some fun ideas to help your toddlers learn their colors

-Use colored foam letters in the bathtub or create a "water table" with a deep tupperware lid or deep pan. Have your child pick different colors and different numbers of that color out of the water, or have your child put certain colors into the water.

-Fill a ziplock baggie with shaving cream and put a few drops of color in it; let your child squish it around to mix it, then they can use it as finger paint. Freezer paper makes a good art paper for this kind of stuff.

-Use a twister game mat and a small bean bag to toss. Let your child throw the bean bag and then name the color that it lands on.

-Put a different color sticker on each hand of your child. Sing the Hokey Pokey song. "You put your green hand in; you put your green hand out..." You can also add, "You put your green hand up; you put your green hand down..."

-Make different colored streamers or scarves and put them in a container or a pile. Turn on some music and dance; stop the music and call out a color. When the children have picked that color of scarf, start the music again so they can dance.
