Teaching tips

  • Colours are all around us! Make learning colours fun by playing “I spy” e.g. “I spy something blue”

  • Describe different things of different colours everywhere you go e.g. “Look at that red car!”

  • Use magnetic letters or alphabet manipulatives to form and spell colour words

  • Paint with your child and explore how mixing colours can form different colours!
