Question: How can I teach my child about colours?

Answers: Use simple objects and toys around them to familiarise them with basic colours. For example, different coloured snacks, balls or clothes can be used as teaching aids. Avoid confusing them by using phrases like “red brick”, just use colour words such as “red” to start off with. Introduce one colour at a time, giving them enough time to get used to it. Some parents have a week themed on a certain colour, featuring food, clothes and toys all in that colour so that their child can get fully used to the concept.
