Play
color and counting games with your child!
Learning
Colors
- Make
a rainbow with colored chalk. Then ask your child to jump on
blue, hop on yellow, and clap on green. Turn it into a sort
of "Simon Says" game. This is a fun way of getting young children
to learn their colors.
- As
you read books with your child, ask them questions like, "Where
are
the red shoes?" and "Can you point to the blue car?"

My
Many Colored Days will spark discussions
on how different colors evoke different moods. Have your child
share their favorite color with you. Ask your child to explain
how that color makes them feel.

Learning
Numbers
- Make
number challenges a part of the day’s activities. Ask your
toddler
to count up to five before coming out of the bath, or to count
- down
from five before snack time. Offer praise and encouragement.
- Sing
counting songs throughout the day, such as "Ten Little Indians."
