Replaced our subscription app!
We have all these educational apps and they are great for both the 2 yr old and 4 yr old. I love the variety of settings I can choose to customize the learning experience and that both kids can have their own profiles.
There are a few dialect/pronunciation ‘quirks.’ Today I noticed “oinch” instead of orange. I have heard this regional pronunciation before, but it’s still strange. Also, kids can’t easily navigate around the app. The activities are labeled with words instead of icons so it can be hard for my kids to communicate what activity they want to do.
You have to hold and swipe to get back to the main menu. Great for keeping kids where you want them if you only want them in one activity. However I let my kids choose how they use their time. There are little to no stopping points within each activity, like you find in almost any other game. My kids eventually want to try different things. They get frustrated I have to do it for them. Still FIVE stars
For the developers:
1. The arrow to advance to the next page is sometimes hard to hit for adults, let alone kids. A larger, more centrally located button would be more intuitive.2. Icons to label activities
3. Add/increase stopping points
4. Allow adults to turn off the “lock” on the exit feature
5. Consider combining activities in one app so there is an interdisciplinary option.
Thanks for you your great games:)
Great apps for 3 year old
My 3 year old loves the app and the other ones in this developer’s series.
Cute graphics and fun for preschoolers. Love the encouragement from the characters (“good job! I believe in you!”). My review is an update after the sound was “fixed”. If your app sound doesn’t work, make sure the sound is NOT toggled off/muted. On an iPad, it’s very easy for a preschooler to mess around and turn off the noise even though you can turn up the volume and hear other apps. So strange. Anyway, download this app if you have a preschooler, you child will love it and so will you.
It seems that the ringer/silent switch on your iPhone is enabled, please make it disable to get the sound. Hopefully, this will fix the issue. Please update review and rating from 3 star if this fixes the issue. 🙏 Every review from parents matters to us since this is a passion project. :)
Satisfied
I would highly recommend this to everyone who a young one.
Imagine you can even change the language. My granddaughter is 18 months and I have been doing this for 2 months and she identifies 3/4 of her alphabet and numbers Furthermore she can trace them With her fingers

Colors for Kids: Teaching Colors to Children
Children usually learn about color during their preschool years.
The ability to identify colors is considered a marker and milestone in a child’s cognitive process and is often part of early screening for development and educational admittance. Recognizing the colors and identifying the color names is an important part of a child’s development. Early identification of colors helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words.
Tips on Teaching Children Colors
Children need to first acquire informational pieces before they can begin to understand color as a concept. It might seem simple as blue is blue, before the concept of color is understood. Children don’t have the ability to understand that light blue and navy are both blue and they also lack the verbal skills to explain that to you. Along with learning what each color is called, children need to understand what color represents; it’s not size, nor shape, nor the name of the object, nor the texture, not the number of things showing. Constant repetition and expanding on what colors are and what they are not will help any child understand what the actual word color means.
After that, teaching colors to children is usually easy. Children are naturally attracted to bright colors, which is why most toys and activities geared towards younger children, including toddlers and babies, are brightly colored. During the preschool years, children have a natural affinity to understand their world around them. Surrounded by a world of color it is easy to use daily opportunities to discuss colors. Of course, since teaching color recognition to children is so important, there are many tools that can be used by parents and educators alike to help children learn about color.
Learning About Colors Through Children’s Books
There are numerous children’s books to teach children about color form. The “chunky books” such as the “Happy Baby” series that usually mark a baby’s first “reading” experience, are books that are very educationally minded. Like toys geared for children, children’s books are a natural opportunity to not only teach children the differences between the colors and to identify them, but to also forget that connection between the written words and the colors they represent.
The best children’s books to teach color combine a child’s interest, with a great story, and colorful illustrations making reading experience completely enjoyable. Children’s Book Guide.com has a great list of children’s books that will provide many opportunities for parents and educators to teach color to children without them even realizing that a lesson is at hand.
One of our favorites from the list is Eric Carles’ “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See” Considered a staple in many a preschool classroom, this classic has been a must have for children learning about color since its publication as Carle’s first illustrated children’s book in 1967. Republished in 2007, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See” is not the only one of Carle’s books that can be used to teach children colors. Known for his creative use of collage in his illustrations, Carle’s books go past a more generic use of flat colors, and allow children to experience nuance, patterns and a range of shades all in one color.
Games that Teach Children About Color
Along with books, many games use color in part to make them attractive to children while teaching them about color.
The classic children’s game, Candyland, is often a child’s first board game because of its use of color. Naturally appealing with its sugar coated fantasy, the board game doesn’t use a counter or dice, but color cards that dictate the child’s next move on the board. Along with color matching, Candyland also teaches counting skills, strategy, social skills and spatial reason to young children.
Color matching memory games are another way to induced color learning to children with a game. Based off the typical matching game of remembering where two like cards are to make a pair, preschool children have to compare colors and match the same ones together to win. Another game geared towards teaching child to match colors is dominoes. By removing the dots that require counting and increasing the size, Jumbo Color Dominoes.
Children Learning with Colors Flashcards
Since learning colors is such an important part of every child’s early education, schools and parents often turn to the more educational minded color flashcards. Color flashcards run a range from just focusing on color to inducing the words along with color as pre reading skills. Often color flashcards use shapes and teach basic counting skills along with color recognition. There are many different kinds of flashcards geared towards teaching children about color. They can be purchased directly, downloaded and printed form online sources, or crafty parents can even make their own with color card stock.
Teaching Kids Color Online:
While so many of the tools used to teach children about colors are “classic” the internet and online games have also provided excellent opportunities for children to learn about colors. Some online color education tools focus on specific color skill like color recognition, matching and color concentration and might require the child to have some reading ability.
Other’s such as Fishers Price’s Color and Shape game plays more like an interactive video and requires the very basic computer skills.
Teaching Color to Children Everyday
Of course, since color is a part of everyday life, there are many opportunities to teach children about color during every day living. One way to teach children about color is to pick a new color each week and completely focus on that color with your food choices, activities, etc.
So, no matter what color you pick for the week, enjoy bringing the beauty of color to a young person while you teach a child about color. Do you have a favorite book or game that teaches color? We would love to hear your recommendations.

Learning colors: how to teach a child to distinguish colors and shades
It is generally accepted that by the age of three a child should learn to distinguish between primary colors.
This skill is an important part of sensory development, it gives the child the opportunity to see the world in a new way. Often, if the baby does not know or confuse colors, parents have concerns about the pace of development of the child. Do I need to worry if the study of colors is not easy for a child? How to teach a child to distinguish colors? You will find answers to these questions in our article. nine0003
At what age does a child begin to see colors?
Studies have shown that children begin to perceive colors by 2-3 months. The first colors a child sees are yellow, orange, red, green. At this age, babies can already react differently to their toys of different colors (for example, a red rattle can please a child more than a blue one), look at bright pictures with enthusiasm. The baby's world quickly acquires colors, but if we talk about the ability to consciously find an object of the right color, then usually it appears in children at the age of one and a half. It is at this age that it is optimal to start learning colors in a playful way.
You can voice the names of flowers to a child for up to a year, this will only benefit him. But do not demand too much from the baby, remember that his brain is actively developing, and as soon as the time comes, you will certainly see the results. nine0003
To see if your child is ready to learn colors by playing with building blocks, ask your child to point to a part that is the same color as yours. If the baby can find objects of the same color, then he is quite ready to memorize the names of colors.
Learning colors in everyday life
Children get most of their knowledge about the world in everyday life: communicating with adults and peers, observing nature, playing. The study of flowers is no exception. Sometimes a child does not need to do special exercises to learn to recognize colors. For this, it is enough that he hears the name of the color and associates it with a specific thing. During daily activities, voice for the child what color the objects are around.
Whether you are drawing, playing with blocks, looking at cars in the yard, reading, swimming, eating, dressing - in each of these situations, you can gently teach your child to distinguish colors. nine0003
It is important that the study of colors does not turn into torture. You should not constantly test the child's knowledge by asking him which color is which. Soon the baby may just start to ignore you. “Let's paint the sun yellow!”, “What a delicious green cucumber!”, “Oh, where did the blue cube go? Here it is!" are examples of how you can gently help your child remember colors.
Games for learning colors and their shades
In order to get your baby interested in learning colors or to reinforce the knowledge they already have, you can offer your child to play special “color” games. nine0003
Color Sorting
Sorting games are designed to help children learn to group objects by color.
Any materials at hand can be items for sorting: toys, covers, designer parts, cubes, buttons, cereals, pencils, etc. You can organize the game in various ways:
You can come up with as many options for sorting by color, it all depends on your imagination. So that the child does not lose interest in the task, connect the plot of the game with his favorite characters, toys (for example, a cat will eat from a yellow bowl, and a baby elephant from a red one, etc.). nine0003
Match a Pair
Help your child learn colors with the Match a Pair series. Ask your child to find a petal for a bug, a pot for a flower, a roof for a house, etc. You can present the baby with a deliberately wrong option and ask to correct the mistakes.
Pick up a patch
Show the child the picture with the missing details. Ask him to fill in the gaps (this can be done with plasticine, pom-poms, caps, cards, etc.). nine0003
Color Lotto
At the age of about one year, children begin to be interested in various lottos.
In the color lotto, the task is to collect pictures of the same color on the card.
Colored Sensory Boxes
Create a sensory box for your baby where everything is the same color. During the game, the child will be able not only to remember the color that he sees, but also to develop fine motor skills, tactile sensitivity, thinking, and imagination. nine0003
Color days
This is one of the most interesting and popular ways to teach your child to distinguish colors. Its essence is that during the day (or several days) you draw the child's attention to objects of a certain color. For example, on a yellow day, you can dress in yellow clothes, play with yellow toys, draw a yellow chicken. Surrounded by one color, the baby will easily remember it.
Cards for learning colors
You can learn colors with your child using cards. With the help of Doman's "Colors" cards, you can introduce your baby not only to the main colors, but also to different shades.
It is important not to overload the child with unnecessary information about the names of 10 shades of green or red. Learn only those shades whose names you can use in the game and life. nine0003
Board games for learning colors
Board games are a great way to learn about colors and consolidate knowledge about them. Currently, the stores offer a wide range of similar games for every taste and budget. Choose a game that suits your child.
Educational cartoons
There are many educational cartoons on the Internet that will help your child memorize colors quickly. Here is one of them:
Educational books
If your little one loves to listen to stories and look at pictures, this is the way for you. We all remember the wonderful story of V.G. Suteev "Rooster and paints", by S.Ya. Marshak has a whole “Colorful book”. You can also find many educational books that will become your faithful assistants.
Conclusions
We have listed for you different color learning games. In order for a child to master the concept of color well, it is worth adhering to a number of principles: do not rush the baby, provide a variety of material for games, discuss what you see. nine0003
Conclusion
You can start studying colors from an early age, the main thing is that it is interesting for the child. It is impossible to specify clear age limits when a child should learn primary colors. This process, like all development, is individual for each baby. The Sozvezdie Development Center has created a Montessori environment for kids, aimed at the comprehensive development of the child. In the classes "Together with Mom" children in a playful way get acquainted with the concepts of color, shape and size, do thematic creative work. You can learn from our teachers how to interest a child in an activity and how to properly present him with cognitive information. Develop with us! nine0003

Learning colors or how to teach a child to distinguish colors
Learning the simplest colors - 6 colors: white, black, red, yellow, blue, green.
To learn colors - show how to combine colors. When connected correctly, the cards disappear. If you connected the cards incorrectly, click on the glue and the cards will separate again. Good luck!
As a parent, you want your children to develop. This may bother you if you feel like your child is behind. One concern of many parents is related to the study of colors. There can be a lot of misinformation and wrong expectations when you just want to know when kids are learning colors? To overcome the confusion, you need to know the child development chart for learning colors and what activities can help your child develop. nine0003

When do children learn colors?
Your baby's ability to see color develops by four months of age. Since then, you've probably noticed that your little one loves bright colors. The attraction to these colors is characteristic of children, and these colors help them to distinguish color in later life. The time it takes children to learn their color varies, just like any other stage of development.
No baby is unique, but babies learn colors around 18 months old. This development continues until the age of two. nine0003
Most children should know at least one color by the age of three. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that children know several colors by age four. Some kids may even know more colors than this, but your clue to whether your child is walking or not is the ability to identify at least one color by age three.
At the same time that children begin to recognize color, they also begin to develop the ability to distinguish between sizes, such as large and small, and shapes. nine0003
Problems learning colors
Some parents think that their children know colors better than other children. This is because it can be difficult for children to separate the color from the object. If you use the same objects to teach and describe colors over and over again, your child is more likely to associate the name of the color with the object. They don't understand the difference between a color and a noun.
For example, when you call an object a red ball, your child treats all ball names as a red ball, rather than separating the color name from the object name. Developing the ability to distinguish color from an object takes time. Many parents use shapes and colors together to teach their kids about both. This is a great idea, but the child most likely does not distinguish green from a triangle. The concept of color becomes too abstract to understand. nine0003
Learning to distinguish red and blue colors
Learning to understand that color is not an object, but a sign of an object. We start with two colors, play until we begin to distinguish between different colors. To kids, the name of the color is read by an adult.
Learning colors red and green
Now we learn two colors red and green. Two different colors, you need to understand that these are signs of objects.
Another problem parents face is when children know the names of colors without being able to correctly match those names to the color.
Keeping in mind that children develop at different rates, many children develop language skills before they learn color. Don't worry if your toddler knows and says the names of colors but doesn't accurately identify those colors with the object. If your child calls his red fire truck yellow, that's fine. Consider this a good sign that your child already knows these names. Your task is to help the child correctly associate the names with the color. nine0003
Developmental problems in color learning
Some disorders may contribute to slower color development and learning. Children with autism spectrum disorders may have trouble communicating that they know a certain color. Instead of knowing color words and not being able to give that color a meaningful meaning, a child on the spectrum can cognitively understand and identify colors, but cannot verbally express the name of a color. If your child has Attention Deficit Disorder, it can be difficult to get them to pay attention to colors when learning colors.
This can also lead to delays. For kids with any of these issues, try to avoid distractions and keep anxiety levels low by playing games or doing things to help your kids learn their colors. nine0003
Learning the colors red and yellow
Learning the colors blue and green
Color blindness can also limit a child's ability to learn colors correctly. Colorblind people have trouble distinguishing between certain colors. Specific color problems can vary from person to person.
Learning the colors black and white
The degree to which color blindness affects someone can also vary greatly. The problem is exacerbated when multiple colors overlap, such as a red bow on a green shirt. If you have problems, it is best to see a doctor. nine0003
Different aspects of learning colors
In order to understand how to teach colors to toddlers, it is important to remember the different aspects of learning color. When your kids learn colors, it's more than memorization.
