[quote=Anonymous]My nanny kids, twins, had this problem around age 2 also (for them everything was blue). I had been implementing several color based activities with them for months but nothing was working. Eventually, I resorted to bribery: after their nap they woke up hungry. I'd give them 3 cheerios to eat, and then for every object they correctly identified the color of they got another cheerio (or sometimes we used grapes or pieces of cheese). Of course I helped them out with a lot of hints at first, but by the end of the first week they were successfully identifying colors more than 50% of the time and by two weeks they'd learned all the basic colors and very rarely got one wrong. I'm not particularly proud that I resorted to bribery, but MB and DB were very pleased that they learned their colors![/quote]
