Teaching Colors and Shapes to Young Children

These songs that teach about colors and shapes.

Learning shapes and colors may well be a young child’s first educational endeavor. Although recognizing objects as red or blue, round or square might seem like child’s play, it’s actually integral to a young child’s cognitive development, and sets the stage for math concepts from sorting and patterning to geometry, and beyond!




You Guess the Color?
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Kathy Bell

Can you guess the color?
Is the answer in your head?
It’s the color of an apple,
And that color is—Red!

Can you guess the color?
Can you answer true?
It’s the color of the big sky,
And that color is—Blue!



Can you guess the color?
But please don’t be too slow.
It’s the color of the sunshine,
And that color is—Yellow!

Can you guess the color?
It’s a color that you’ve seen.
It’s the color of the tall grass,
And that color is—Green!

Can you guess the color?
Can you guess just right?
It’s the color of a fluffy cloud,
And that color is—White.

Have you guessed the colors?
Did you guess each one?
I hope you guessed the colors,
Cause now my song is done.
