Lets change the way we teach kids colours! 🎨

Rather than, "Please pass me the blue crayon," we should be using language like, "Please pass me the crayon that is blue." 🖍

This little language change makes a huge difference for children's learning. Though it might sound less natural to say, separating the colour from the word like this allows children to better understand the colour 'blue' is a descriptor rather than part of the word 'crayon'.

Read our latest blog post for more on the best ways to teach colours to children:

We're here to help you understand why teaching colours to children is difficult, and give you techniques that will help them to learn faster.
