Colour & Light Words for Toddlers and Kids

By Kala Montena

Why does a shadow move? What does a mirror show? Where do the colours in light come from?

Colour & Light Words invites children ages 3 and up to explore familiar sights through art and early physical science. Sixteen concepts include reflection, absorption, transparency, pigment, blending, shadows and the colours within light.

Look for several colours in a piece of fruit. Move a hand near a secure mirror. Compare materials that let light through with those that block it. Photographs of paint, dyed thread and patterns connect the vocabulary with everyday observations, while prism pictures and scientific images introduce less visible ideas.

Short explanations, comparison questions and two-step activities give families and educators ways to explore each word together. Simplified models and guidance for grown-ups add context for more abstract subjects, including infrared.

Use this early science book alongside preschool light and shadow activities, homeschool art or family painting time. Children can point, talk, draw or act as they investigate the details that interest them. A word guide makes favourite topics easy to revisit.
