Parenting Tips for Your 23-24 Month Old Toddler

One of the best things to teach your child is his colors. It’s easy to do. Just find objects of different colors and play the following game.

How to Play

• Sit on the floor facing your child.

• Select five blocks or other objects of different colors. Place two blocks of different colors in front of your child.

• Point to a block and say, “This is red.”

• Ask your child to give you the red block.

• Ask your child to say the color of the block she handed to you.

• Use only two colors at a time, but change the colors. Start with blue and red together, and then switch to blue and green.

• Tell your child the name of the new color only. See if your child can remember the name of the other color.

Other Color Games

• Have your child tell you the names of colors in stoplights or on television, in magazines, or on signs.

• Put together different things that are of the same color and ask your child what is the same about them.

• Help your child use crayons or colored pictures to learn the names of the colors.
