Cognitive Development: Color Recognition
The children are now showing interest in counting as well as naming colors. While drawing and painting, we always encourage the students to chose which color they would like to use. The children will point to their color preferences, and at times will attempt to verbally call out the color.
Our friends are showing preference and or identifying these colors so far: Red, Blue, Green, and some times Yellow.
This is the beginning of color recognition! How exciting!
-Recognizing the colors and identifying the color names is an important part of a child’s development. Early identification of colors helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words.
