Toddlers are fascinated by colors and easily identify everything around them if it’s colorful. Once they start to crawl, nothing can stop them from exploring the world. At this stage, you may introduce colors with the help of props, puzzles, toys, crayons, or other colorful objects lying around your home.
Another interesting method of teaching colors is using color songs for toddlers. These songs are simple, fun, and catchy and can engage and entertain your little munchkin.

12. Think Green – Netflix Jr
Lyrics:
If you wanna go outside today
If you wanna have fun til the sky gets dark
If you wanna roll around in the grass
If you wanna run around in the park
Then think green (think green)
If you wanna go out then you gotta think green
Green for the grass
And Christmas trees
Green loves plants cause it lives on leaves
Green for vegetables that you need
Like green beans, spinach, and broccoli
Green means go and I hope you do
Did you know get green by mixing yellow and blue?
And green for the frogs and green for limes
And everything’s green in the springtime so!
If you wanna go outside today
If you wanna have fun til the sky gets dark
If you wanna roll around in the grass
If you wanna run around in the park
Then think green (think green)
If you wanna go out then you gotta think green.

13. The Sky is Blue – Netflix Jr
Lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning
First I open up my eyes
Then I open up my window
And I look up at the sky
And I hope it’s blue
The sky is blue
Blue is my favorite berry
The color of the sky so it’s necessary
Light blue, dark blue the shades may vary
Blue is a color that we call primary!
Blue for eyes
Blue is cool
Blue is the water in your swimming pool
Blue is the ocean that you sail
You might see a blue beard
Or a big blue whale
Blue for birds
Blue for sad
Blue screens let you know your computer crashed
Blue for the moon, blue jeans too
So the first thing that I do!
When I wake up in the morning
First I open up my eyes
Then I open up my window
And I look up at the sky
And I hope it’s blue
The sky is blue

Our fun isn’t done yet
We’re waiting for sunset
When everything’s pink, pink, pink

Pink is for grapefruit, pink is for gum
Pink lemonade in the summer sun
Pink is for tulips, bright and big
Pink flamingos and pink for pigs
Strawberry milkshakes make me move
Pink ballerinas and their pink tutus
Cotton candy, or girls pink dress
Pink is for queens or a little princess
Our fun isn’t done yet
We’re waiting for sunset
When everything’s pink, pink, pink
(Everything’s) pink, pink, pink

18. When Its Black – Netflix Jr
Lyrics:
Gonna have fun till the sun goes down
That’s when all the stars and the moon come round
Ready for bed, turn off lights
When the sky’s black we say good night
When it’s black
We say good night
When it’s black
We say good night
Black is for bats, black is for crows
Black is for ink pens, black is for coal
Black is for space it’s quite a scene
Black tuxedos and limousines
Black is for ninjas who hide with ease
Black light posters and piano keys
Black sunglasses with black jeans
Turn off the computer and then you got a black screen
Gonna have fun til the sun goes down
That’s when all the stars and the moon come round
Ready for bed, turn off lights
When the sky’s black we say good night
When it’s black
We say good night
When it’s black
We say good night!

21. Learn Color Song For Toddlers – LooLoo Kids
Lyrics:
Going To The Market?
I’m going to the market with my best friend Jeane,
And everything around us is so nice and GREEN:
Cabbages, zucchini, spinach and Swiss chard,
Eating good and healthy isn’t very hard.
We’d also like to buy something that’s good and sweet,
There are so many things that we would love to eat:
Apples, grapes and berries, and some jam to spread,
So many delicious things that are nice and RED.
My daddy likes bananas, I will get him some,
Some lemons, corn and honey for my Mommy, yum!
So many YELLOW things around, let’s get some cheese,
Some pears and some vanilla ice-cream for me, please!
And now I wonder why there’s nothing BLUE to eat…
Well, butterflies are pretty, but they aren’t meat.
The sky is blue and lovely, but it won’t taste good.
I guess there really isn’t any real blue food.
Oh, I forgot about blueberries!
