One sharing on how to encourage your child to learn about colours
WHAT?
The skill to know shapes and colours usually heats up at around 18 months. If you are trying to introduce this to your child, introduce them slowly, 1 colour or shape a week or atleast for a few days. And always repeat them. Children might not be able to say out verbally, but you may be surprised that he knows through a number of repetition.
GOOD EXAMPLE (http://www.babycenter.com/):
When you're out and about, play pointing and matching games. Say, "I see a red flower" and wait before pointing to it to see if he points first. If he's wearing a blue shirt, ask him if he sees anything else around him the same color.
Toddlers love looking at picture books of objects organised by shape and color. Start by asking him to identify things non-verbally; say, "Can you show me the red square?" and let him point to it. As he begins to learn the names of the colors, you can reverse the game, pointing to objects yourself and asking, "What color is this triangle?" Either way, he'll delight in showing off his knowledge. When he's wrong, don't correct him (or pretend he's right) but instead say the correct name in an encouraging tone.

Tips:
- Make learning fun - use anything you have in your house.
- Read to your child daily
- Keep at it; repetition is key
- Don't compare your child to other kids
- Remember that crafts, music, playtime, and even meal time can all present opportunities for teaching your toddler
Hope this helps!! xx
