Learning Colours: Creative Activities for Kids

Fun ideas and hands-on activities to teach children colours through play and creativity.

Learning Colours: Creative Activities for Kids

Learning colours is one of the first milestones of early childhood. With the right activities, this process becomes a colourful, fun adventure.

When Do Children Recognise Colours?

Most children start to recognise colours around 18 months, but the ability to name them usually comes between 2 and 3 years. Every child has their own pace.

Creative Activities

Organise colourful treasure hunts around the house, make collages with magazine cut-outs of the same colour, or prepare colourful snacks together. Multisensory involvement speeds up learning.

Educational Digital Games

Apps like Nami Kids offer interactive colour games that combine fun and learning, with immediate feedback that positively reinforces the child's progress. For more, see our guide to the best educational apps.

Nami is on Google Play: set your child's screen time and apps from your own phone.
