What is a good toy that will help teach my toddler colors?

I want to work on teaching my 18 month old her colors...are there any toys that help with this? I'm going to target later today to look but any idea's or suggestions would be helpful!What is a good toy that will help teach my toddler colors?
for a toy, anything with the classic colors (red,blue,yellow,green) would be fine. I like the classic rocker stacker with the colored rings. large lego blocks would also be great.



I prefer everday items to teach colors because the are ever-present. the sky is blue. the clouds are white. you are wearing a yellow shirt today. I'm wearing a red shirt today. clothes and everyday items are great for counting too. the truck on your shirt has 4 tires 1,2,3,4.



good luck!
Any toy that has the primary colors on it. Emma has a puzzle with shapes all different colors and we recite the colors on it. Probably one of the things she responded to best was fingerpaint for the bathtub....it came in red, blue, and yellow and she has to tell me what color she wants. So far, all she knows is yellow...but it is a start.What is a good toy that will help teach my toddler colors?
When I was teaching my son I found that he learned them faster with just regular crayons/finger paints. Mainly the finger paints, we would sit down, he and I would play with them and I would tell him to get the red paint and I would show him the color. He had the most fun this way and I think that contributed to him learning faster.
I think blocks and paints are fun, as are crayons. There are also a billion books to read, and you can point out the colors. I think reading is the most important thing you can do, and it helps so many aspects of learning. :)What is a good toy that will help teach my toddler colors?
What worked for me is just talking to my son everyday about the color of everything! It seemed like everything I saw I would say, "See that blue shoe," or "Look at that red car!" My son is now very good at his colors. Good luck!
I have the big leggo blocks for my daughter that are all primary colors and every time she picks one up to build we go over what color it is. You can do that with crayons or any other colored toys that you already have.
A variety; but the key is talking to her about each one.

eg. pick up the red block and bring it for Daddy, please.



it learning a useful skill, a game and bonding. a hug an praise when she does it.
finger paints are really good but require supervision- buy a brand that is safe for young children and use about a teaspoon of one colour on a plastic plate - let your 18 month put her/his fingers in it and spread it on the paper - talk about the colour - and help him/her to draw lines/ dots and help paint things that are that colour - repeat look a red car, a red line, a red dot. Gradually put more colours on the plate - talking about the colours - great because the learning is multisensory - auditory/ visual and kineasthetic (movement). It is messy but my son is 16 months and has been painting for about 2 months now - he already repeats the colour and uses colour language! (also teaches fine motor control and shapes!!! - print using blocks/ potatos)

sorting blocks into colours - build a red tower etc Shape sorters that are colour coded but I'd opt for finger paint anytime. Also playdough is excellent - you can make it really easily and cheaply - just type in playdough recipe in google!

I've found the expensive toys don't work as well!



hope this is useful - good luck and happy learning!
