Whenever I start teaching my toddlers their colors, I start with one color and then add another once they have mastered the first one. I keep adding colors while always review the colors that they have mastered. We use videos, books, flashcards, and coloring pages. I keep adding colors until they know red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, and gray.
Colors Songs
Here is my Color YouTube List that we watch when one of my toddlers is learning their colors. The list starts out by teaching each color individually and then has review songs near the bottom of the list. This list has Color Blocks songs, Frog Street songs, and The Good and the Beautiful songs for each color; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, and gray.
Colors Flashcards
These FREE Preschool Color Flashcards English & Spanish Homeschool Toddler from Teachers Pay Teachers feature fun fruits and vegetables. I used my Scotch Laminator to make them into more durable cards for the kids.

I let the kids use different ways to color each page; markers, crayons, paint, dot daubers, and colored pencils.
