All the basic knowledge that we have is laid in us in a deep childhood. The idea of the form and color, the size of things, the concept of more or less - it seems that we have not been taught this. But in fact, our mothers showed us every day the differences in the objects surrounding us and invested in us all the skills on the grain.
Also now, our children, like a sponge, absorb information. With a child one-year-old, it is possible and even necessary to effectively begin to study the concept of form and color.
Invented toys, sorter, computer programs and everything else for better learning of children. It remains only to buy and show, well, you can do with the tools.
Paper and cardboard
So, armed with scissors and colored cardboard? You can certainly use and paper, but such products will not last.
Everything is unboundedly simple. Using a compass or a regular glass, draw a circle and cut it out along the contour. Also prepare triangles, squares, rectangles. In general, all the simplest geometric figures.
In each color there should be figures of different sizes, so that the baby could match them with your help.
Make a few rings. Let the child thrust his hand through it. Place the rows side by side. It will be very short time and your baby will understand the difference between them.
Multiple shapes make it large enough, about 10 cm diagonally. Using the buttons or double-sided adhesive tape, attach them to the walls of the room. Several times a day, pay attention to the baby on them, passing through the apartment, call the form and the color.
It is important to learn the child to share the concept of form and color. It's better to say: "This is a square. It's yellow," and not "This is a yellow square." Thus, the kid is faster than a crow, that the blue can be a square, and a cube, and his favorite scapula.
Combine the training with the development of fine motor skills. Collect the caps from plastic bottles. At least with blue and green, you should not have problems. Pokavy you will prepare dinner in the kitchen, tell your child that all the eggplants must be rounded with lids. Cover the green color close small baklagi, asinogo color large. The concepts are connected more or less.
Preliminarily paint the eggplant. The gouache is most likely not suitable, since the hands are often sweaty, but ordinary felt-tip pens are quite fit. Having prepared the bottles and painted them in different colors, we add one more field for the activity. Now it is necessary to twirl the caps on a bottle of the appropriate color.
Buckets and boxes
With the help of buckets and various boxes we will teach the child to put objects one into one. Suitable jars and buckets of ice cream, yogurt, sour cream. Labels can be easily removed, and the surface pasted with colored paper. Boxes of all and so will be colored, so here the main thing is that they withstand vsududachnye and not very trying to do something with them.
Build towers, invest each other, be sure to comment on each step and try to try the crumb itself. Repeat that the bucket is big, we put a small one in it, or that a box is small (this is for older children) and we need to choose a wider one.
Ask all the square boxes to be carried to the bear (the child's favorite toy), and rectangular to the louse. Do not forget to praise the baby, because at any age it's nice to hear that you are happy. (But we are praised in any case, even if the kid cope immediately).
Nanash look, the best help in studying color are fruits and vegetables. In the height of summer, it's just a sin not to help a child learn new concepts for him.
In addition, that you are sure to tell the child about the properties of these or other products, call the shape and color of the fruit.
This is especially important for fruit with a constant color. Tomatoes are red, carrots are orange, watermelon is green. Of course, exceptions also happen here, but still they are not apples, which can be yellow, green and red.
Let the child try everything by touch. It is much more productive to twist an apple into your hands to realize that it is round than to take your word for it. And after vyeshche and color to the kid call, it can be eaten by the ship.
Show your child ordinary things in abstruse forms
Wiping the table with a rag, show it to the baby, say that it is square, the supports under the cups are round, and the napkin, folded in half, is a triangle. By the way, multi-colored napkins are generally an excellent tool for studying both forms and colors. By the same cheap and necessary every day.
With the help of plasticine or salted dough, you not only teach the child to show the objects of certain shapes and colors, but also create them yourself. To keep together a ball, roll it, add to a ball a flat strip or a rounded cylinder. Help to blind the baby with a plasticine cube. Arrange the resulting figures in colors.
If the child is older than two years, collect the resulting parts car, herringbone, sunshine or a snowman with him. Save your creation for memory, give the child the opportunity to feel and realize how new figures appear from the usual piece of material.
It is incorrect to teach only one form or one color for a long time. Nothing good will come of this venture. The child is able to remember all the information that you give him. Therefore, calmly study the shades of different colors, enter high-low, narrow-wide, deep-shallow. Pay attention to the shapes of the objects that surround you.
By breakfast, say to the baby that his plate is round and small, and yours is also round, but at the same time, show more and show the difference. The door is rectangular, the window is square, a triangle is drawn on the carpet, and the tablecloth on the table is oval.
Try to call all the colors and shapes correctly. The kid is very easy to get confused. If you say that the cup is green, then it should be exactly green, and not salad. Children, like us, can distinguish colors without any problems and can not understand why they called out a crimson T-shirt, red, because something is clearly not right. In the beginning of the acquaintance of the crumbs with flowers, just choose for training those subjects that do not cause doubts in their shades.
Accompany the teaching of rhymes, short rhymes. It's much more fun and easier to learn when everything is folded and even you can sing.
Spend the color days. For example, in the morning look for all the things blue in the apartment, after dinner it will be time for pink objects. Nablylitsa necessarily tweak the green grass, sniff red roses, feel flat leafs and consider a square tile.
Tell the bark about the rainbow, he will necessarily want to see it alive, but first draw, blind, collect the pyramid or turret from all its colors.
Distinguish the color of the child will begin long before he starts to call them. This is absolutely natural and logical. The older it becomes, the more shades it will recognize and learn how to identify them.
This rule also applies to forms. Teach your children with what surrounds you. Everything that is ordinary for adults is unusual and new for kids.
