Colors for Kids - Lesson 2 - How to Make These Colors
In Colors for Kids Lesson 2, children can also discover how each colour is mixed using simple paints, crayons or colour pencils. This way, they do not only say the colour names, but also see how the colours are created.
Try these combinations at home or in class!Coral
First, start with orange, then add a little red and a touch of white. In the end, it turns into a soft pink–orange colour called coral.
Orange + Red + WhiteTeal
Next, mix blue and green together. Then add a tiny bit of black to make it deeper. That cool blue–green colour you see is teal.
Blue + Green (+ tiny Black)Light Pink
Then, take a little red and mix in lots of white. The more white you add, the softer and lighter the pink becomes.
Red + Lots of WhiteLight Blue
After that, use blue and add plenty of white. Gradually, it turns into a gentle sky colour called light blue.
Blue + WhiteIndigo
For a darker shade, mix blue with a bit of purple (violet). Then add just a tiny touch of black to make it dark like the night sky.
Blue + Purple (+ tiny Black)Lavender
Similarly, start with purple and mix in white. Soon, it becomes a soft, gentle purple called lavender.
Purple + WhiteLime
Now, mix yellow and green together. Use more yellow to keep it bright and fresh, just like a lime fruit.
Yellow + GreenChocolate
To make brown, mix red, yellow and blue. Afterwards, add a little extra red or black to make it look like chocolate.
Red + Yellow + BlueCyan
For a bright blue–green, mix blue and green, then add some white to keep it light. This light blue–green colour is called cyan.
Blue + Green + WhiteMaroon
Finally, start with red and add a small amount of black or brown. As a result, it becomes a dark red colour called maroon.

Colors for Kids - Lesson 2-Parent Guide
Ideas for teaching colors at home and in class🎯 Why teaching colors is important
- Language growth: First, color words help children describe things better – “ball” becomes “red ball” or “blue ball”, so their sentences become richer.
- Observation skills: Next, looking for colours makes kids notice shapes, sizes and small details around them that they might otherwise miss.
- Early math thinking: Also, sorting toys or blocks by colour builds grouping, comparing and counting skills in a simple, hands-on way.
- Creativity & confidence: Finally, using many colours in drawing and craft activities lets children express feelings and ideas, which builds confidence.
🧩 Simple ways to teach colors for kids
- Use everyday objects: To begin with, talk about colours when you see clothes, toys, fruits or vehicles. For example, you can say, “This is a yellow bus.”
- Focus on 1–2 colours: At first, choose just one or two colours. For a few days, repeat the same colours in short, happy practice times instead of long lessons.
- Play “find the colour”: Then play simple games. Ask, “Can you find something green in this room?” Let your child look, point and name it.
- Add movement: After that, add movement to keep things fun. Put coloured paper on the floor and say, “Jump on blue!” or “Touch the pink colour.”
- Use the audio in this lesson: Finally, use technology to help. First listen to the colour name, then repeat it together and, in the end, find the same colour in real objects around you.
Overall, short, fun practice works best for preschoolers. You can revisit this page as a small “colors for kids lesson” every few days so your child gradually remembers and uses the new colour names.
