Time to share some basic colors with our little ones. This is a wonderful song for learning colores
en Español. It is short, basic and slow. Play and watch the video together.
Reinforcing the colors? Simple, take some construction paper of the particular colors
you want your child to learn, and sing the song without the video while you show him the colors in the
construction paper.
Including colors in daily life tasks is a wonderful tool. For example:
Grocery shopping: play colores en Español by pointing at the color while singing this:
"por eso yo quiero todo lo que es verde, verde, verde, verde es mi color." You will be pointing at a green
pepper. Use this verse to change the colors and simply end by saying the specific color.
Sing pieces of the song exactly like they are in the video while you show him the real objects on
the street, the car, etc.
Play "spoting the color," a simple game in which you say a color and the first one who shows something
that color gets a point. My son loved this one!
Los Colores - Colors in Spanish
Verde, verde son los arbolitos,
verde, verde sus hojitas son.
Por eso yo quiero todo lo que es verde, verde, verde, verde es mi color.
Amarillo es el color del trigo,
amarillo mis patitos son.
Por eso yo quiero todo lo amarillo, como el tibio rayito de sol.
Rosa, rosa son todas mis cosas,
rosa, rosa mis vestidos son.
Por eso yo quiero todo lo que es rosa,
como rama de durazno en flor.
Rojo, rojo es mi sombrerito,
rojo, rojo el botón en flor.
Por eso yo quiero todo lo que es rojo, rojo, rojo, es mi corazón.
El celeste es el color del cielo,
celestitos tus ojitos son,
Por eso yo quiero todo lo celeste, por que es el color de la ilusión.
Blanca, blanca es la nube viajera,
blancos, blancos mis dientitos son.
Por eso yo quiero todo lo que es blanco, como suave copo de algodón.
