Antes de los 6 meses aproximadamente, la vista del bebé no está completamente desarrollada. Su capacidad para enfocar y ver colores es extremadamente limitada. Los libros con imágenes sencillas en blanco y negro son perfectos para los bebés pequeños. Sienta a tu bebé en tu regazo, acurrúcalo y miren juntos un libro ilustrado en blanco y negro. Habla con tu bebé, cuéntale todo sobre las imágenes; disfrutará el sonido de tu voz. Incluso pueden tomar su mano y señalar cosas en la página y pasar la página juntos.
Aproximadamente a los 5 meses, los bebés pueden ver todos los colores. Puede presentar los colores de maneras lúdicas, divertidas y atractivas. Aquí hay algunas ideas:
Localice 1 o 2 colores básicos con su hijo. Podrías buscar rojo, verde, azul, naranja, morado, rosa, negro o marrón. Ayudar a su hijo a identificar los colores le proporciona una sensación de exploración y aprendizaje al mismo tiempo.
Haga coincidir un color con las cosas del hogar: la habitación de su hijo y la ropa. Esto permitirá que los niños vean, señalen y escuchen cómo usted dice el color y el nombre del objeto. Esta es una excelente manera diaria de desarrollar el vocabulario de su hijo.
Agregue color a las palabras para describir una acción al identificar objetos. Por ejemplo: “Mira nuestro gran auto rojo”, “tenemos un perro negro”, “tu camisa tiene puntos azules”
Lea libros en los que se identifiquen los colores, como “Oso pardo, oso pardo, qué ves ahí?” de Bill Martin Jr./Eric Carle, “Pinta ratones” de Ellen Stoll Walsh. No tengas miedo de leer un libro una y otra vez. ¡Los niños pequeños aprenden mediante la repetición!
Before about 6 months, a baby’s eyesight is not fully developed. Their ability to focus and see colors is extremely limited. Books with simple, black and white images are perfect for young babies. Sit your baby on your lap, snuggle, and look at a black and white picture book together. Talk to your baby – tell them all about the pictures – they will enjoy the sound of your voice. You can even take their hand and point to things on the page and turn the page together.
At about 5 months, babies can see all the colors. You can introduce the colors in playful, fun, and engaging ways. Here are some ideas:
Locate 1 or 2 basic colors with your child. You might look for red, green, blue, orange, purple, pink, black, or brown. Helping your child identify colors provides a sense of exploration and learning at the same time.
Match a color to things in the household: your child’s room and clothing items. This will allow children to see, point, and listen to you say the color and name of the object. This is a great everyday way to build your child’s vocabulary.
Add color to words to describe an action when identifying objects. For example: “Look at our big red car”, “we have a black dog”, “your shirt has blue dots”
Read books in which colors are identified such as “Brown, Brown Bear What Do You See” by Bill Martin Jr./Eric Carle, and “Mouse Paint” by Ellen Stoll Walsh. Don’t be afraid to read a book over and over. Young children learn from repetition!

Have you ever played Lotería? Let me share with you the fantastic benefits of playing Lotería or a similar well-known memory game: Bingo.
Children practice many early literacy skills when playing memory games such as Lotería and Bingo: exposure to new vocabulary, visual recognition and attention to detail, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. The environment you create when playing the game is also important. The game can played in small or large groups: design a group that creates a sense of well-being and excitement in the new learning opportunity. Children will also work on problem-solving skills, engaging with others, asking questions (why, how, who), and incorporating math, facts, and brain development. Play these memory board games in groups and take turns. This will develop important school-readiness skills: playing with others, following directions, and taking turns.
Another benefit of Lotería? It can be played pretty much anywhere: at home, in the park, in the library, or outdoors.
High-quality content designed to help learners gain the latest skills in areas like Career Development, Skill Building, Productivity, and Automation.
