How to try it

Put two items of clearly different colors in front of your toddler, like a red cup and a blue block. Ask for \"the red one\" and let them hand it over. Swap the pair now and then.

Materials

  • Two or three objects in different colors

Safety note

Use objects bigger than a toilet-paper tube and stay close.

Save this idea

Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.

Why it matters

Choosing between two options helps your toddler link a color word to the thing it describes.
