Learning Our Colors, Part 1

A few days ago I was determined that I was going to teach Grant something new that day. Every toddler needs to learn their colors so that was the task for the day. I knew that I needed something that would be entertaining and toddler proof. So I decided to mix food coloring and vanilla pudding for him to play in, eat and mix the colors together.

We had four main colors to start off with - blue, red, green and yellow. I gave Grant a spoon and he enjoyed playing the colored pudding and mixing the colors. As we mixed different colors to make new ones we talked about them and practiced saying the names.

After a little while doing that Grant discovered that the stuff he was playing with actually tasted good and it was all over after that. He LOVED to dip his fingers in the pudding and eat it.

So there we have it..Grant learned to say and recognize the color "blue" and had a full stomach of pudding afterwards. What a fun activity!
