 How to Teach Colors to Toddlers and Preschoolers Using Legos

Inside: Looking for a simple way to teach colors to your toddlers and preschoolers?
Check out this hands-on color game that uses Lego Duplo Bricks and a parachute.
Active kids love this activity!

During our preschool Lego camp, I wanted some sort of color game using Legos. We

play lots of parachute activities and I realized I could come up with a color sorting
game using our small parachute. What was even more fun was that I turned it into a
hide and seek adventure, too!

Games such as this one are a great way to build confidence and social skills. Young
children are encouraged to work together as they play. This also builds language
skills as they communicate with each other, as well as cognitive skills as they figure
out where the pieces go.
 

HOW TO TEACH COLORS TO TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS USING LEGOS

What you will need:

PARACHUTE

LEGO DUPLOS IN COLORS THAT MATCH YOUR PARACHUTE

Setting up:

Place the parachute on a table or the floor. Hide the Lego Duplo bricks around the
room. A grown up can do this, or you can have some of the children help.
 

Playing the game:

Invite the children to find the hidden Duplo bricks. As they find them, they place
them on the matching color on the parachute. Keep going until all the bricks are
found.

 
Extension:

Count how many bricks are on each color and create a simple graph to show if one
color has more than the others.

Teaching your toddler their colors? Try this color hunt!

My toddler daughter has hit “the color phase”: she knows colors exist and she’s
trying everything to remember which name goes with which color. We’ve worked
with sorting colors in the past, but this activity focuses on color name identification –
and just one color at a time.

To help my daughter match up the correct color with the correct color name, we’ve
been going on color hunts lately in our learning colors quest. I love making big
concepts like color identification into simple toddler activities. This color hunt has
been a hit!
Setting up a color hunt is so easy!

Materials:
(this list contains affiliate links)

Plastic gallon sized bag

Colored construction paper

Room full of colored objects / toys

The set up is super easy: place a single sheet of colored construction paper into a
plastic bag. For our color hunt, we went searching for red, hence the red
construction paper.
Begin with a little instruction

My daughter is 21 months old and the world is so new to her! We sat together in her
room looking at the red piece of paper.

“Red. This is red,” I repeated over and over.

“Let’s go find some red toys!”

How the activity went for us

The first few red items, I found and brought to her. She’d yell “RED” and put them in
her red bag. Remember, it’s a color hunt and we are collecting our treasure.

Then I began providing choices: one red Lego and one blue Lego, for example. She’d
mull it over before making her decision. “RED!”
Finally by the end of our brief 7 minute activity (hey, Rome, toddler activities, and
color identification skills were not built in a day), she was able to pick out a few red
items from her room. This was great and a big step for her!

Try this learning colors activity with your toddler.

You are here: Home / summer activities / Color Recognition Fish Ocean Sensory Bin

Inside: Put together a fish ocean sensory bin that builds color recognition skills! After
scooping fish from water, sort and place in matching bowls. Hands-on learning!

Toddlers and preschoolers love to use real aquarium fish nets! I

shared our ocean theme sensory bin where these nets were a huge hit
with the small aquarium rock and pretend sea creatures. But I wanted
something that would be easier for toddlers and young preschoolers
without any choking hazards.
Hello fun color sorting fish sensory bin!

It’s all about scooping and pouring with this age group.

For this reason, I try to find fun ways to incorporate these in our sensory bins. Water
is always a favorite, but sand and other materials work well, too. Also, if we have a
child who likes to dump toys, we can redirect him to this type of sensory bin.
COLOR RECOGNITION FISH OCEAN SENSORY
BIN

Good ol’ Amazon did it again! I was searching for chunky plastic fish that toddlers
could hold in their hands, scoop and pour. When I found what I was looking for, I
realized I could pull together a color-sorting activity in our sensory bin.

Ta da!

I grabbed our color sorting bowls and aquarium fish nets, filled our sensory bin with
water, and it was ready. That easy!

(Note: Since writing this post, the chunky plastic fish we used are no longer available.
these might work, though.)

The first thing the children did was fill the nets with as many fish as they could. They
weren’t even thinking about the colors.
They then dumped the fish into the bowls. Again, not thinking about sorting them by
color.
They were simply having fun building their fine motor skills while filling and
dumping, over and over again.
Super simple and fun, right?

For those of you at home, try this in the bathtub!
