Learning to recognise colours is typically one of the first concepts babies and toddlers are taught and can be done simply by pointing out different colours in your child's surroundings. However, there are also a ton of learning tools in the form of puzzles, toys, books, and games that teach not only colours but also other basic concepts such as numbers, letters, sorting, maths, matching, and more.

Keep scrolling to see and shop some of our favourite toys that help with colour recognition.
