Tips for parents
- Play “I spy” with Spanish color words on walks and in the supermarket.
- Sort crayons, socks or building blocks by color while the song plays, naming each pile in Spanish.
- Ask “what color is it?” about things your child already loves; the answer is more fun when it's about their favourite toy.
