🌈 This Week’s Focus: Learning Colours Through Songs
This week, we’re focusing on one of the most powerful early learning foundations: colours 🎨
As an early childhood educator and mum, I’ve seen this time and time again children don’t learn colours by being told them. They learn colours by hearing them repeatedly, seeing them in context, and moving their bodies while engaging emotionally.
That’s exactly why songs work so well.
When colours are paired with:🎶 melody👏 actions👀 visual cues
…children retain them naturally, without pressure or frustration.
👉 Important tip (from experience):It’s far more effective to focus on one colour at a time than to rush through many. Repetition builds confidence.
💡 How to Use Songs for Colour Learning This Week
Choose one colour per day
Sing a colour-focused song together
Point out that colour around your home or outdoors
Keep it short 5 minutes is enough
This week isn’t about perfection. It’s about gentle, joyful repetition.
👇 In the comments: What colour does your child notice the most right now red, blue, yellow, or another favourite?
