My Toddler Won't Learn Colors

An easy way to teach colors to toddlers is to work with whatever you have around the house and have kids sort them. My son is 4 12 and this is his second year in preschool.

4 year old refuses to recognize ABCs 123s.

My toddler won't learn colors. As per the Color Blind Awareness organization. The difficulty for the child to understand is that colors are something abstract so something they cannot take into their hands and play with. This is the first thing he has to do when he walks in the room.

18 months is the generally accepted age for teaching colors. My child understands but doesnt speak is a sentence I often heard from parents who brought their child in to see me for a speech and language assessment. No the kids probably not color blind.

A trick for teaching children colors at a younger age--and why it is otherwise so hard for them. I can honestly say that I have been trying to teach him his ABCs and 123s for about 2 years now. As for colors I think its not unusual for them to be learned later than age 3 but color-blindness is also a possibility if he doesnt appear to notice color differences at all.

He gets in trouble every day with notes sent home and even has been sent to the principal a few times. Another if he cant. If you start your child with shades of these colors or any of the tertiary colors then they will get confused.

You should always be reviewing colors with your child. If you show your child a ball which is red then show them another ball which is red orange it is. You can grab different fruits and veggies soft balls and animals or even supplies from your craft box like pom poms popsicle sticks and crayons.

As another parent pointed out the childs fine motor and behavioral development should be evaluated to see if therapies are indicated. Melanie Hartmann a former Head Start assessment psychologist agrees with Hollier telling Romper that most children begin to name their first colors. My child wont color in Pre-K.

Its one thing if he doesnt match the color with the word. While in most cases this was true the child understood at an age appropriate level there were a few children who actually did not understand what they should have. But at this age touching something is an important factor in learning.

A child that age typically colors. If the child just has an aversion to coloring but normal fine motor skills then thats okay. An idea would be to get colored plastic sheets yellow magenta cyan and show them what happens when you look through them.

He knows the ABC song and can count to 16. He will be in preschool 1 more year due to his birthday and the school cutoff age. Though its hard to tell if your toddler is color blind many parents dont realize until their childs in school color blindness is not uncommon.

As a general rule of thumb 18 months 2 ½ is a great age for specifically teaching colors. Some kids learn their colors sooner and some learn them later. My 4 year old has been in pre-k for four months and resists coloring.
