Teach your baby to recognize colors with food
Baby dishes are not only delicious but also delicious to the eyes. Parents can take advantage of the time preparing dinner or during the entire meal to teach their children to recognize colors .

Teach your child one color each week
Once your baby has recognized the basic colors, parents should teach one color a week so the baby can remember it longer. For example, in the first week, when parents teach the color red, try to introduce many red objects and animal toys to the baby. Next week, switch to blue and gradually switch to other colors in the following weeks so your baby doesn't get bored.
This way of teaching children to recognize colors is quite effective. Surely parents will be extremely surprised with the results their children achieve after a period of time.
