Color identification is an important part of a child’s cognitive development. Teaching children about colors develops their visual perception – which is the ability of the brain to correctly interpret what the eyes see. This is an important pre-reading skill. Learning to identify and describe colors improves a child's ability to communicate and express themselves.
