colour adjectives

[Martha Rayas]

Hi Susanne! I know that the basic colors that they know are red, black,
white and blue, and they start to name them at 3 years of age. We are doing
an experiment targeting 3, 4 and 5 year olds in which they have to name
those colors, and the children do it very well. I hope this helps!
