When do preschoolers generally learn things like colors, numbers and letters?

Hey should know some of the colors, he should be able to count to at least 10. My daughter was doing very well at 3 with all these things, until my son was born. Then she completely "forgot" everything. She is now 5 years old and she knows all her ABC's, she can count to 20 (sometimes messes up after 15), and she knows all her colors, and some of her shapes. She can also identify most of her letters and a couple of her numbers.

With colors, my husband and I used daily things to teach our now two-year-old. I would sit her on the dryer when I would do laundry and tell her what each item was (i.e., Daddy's green shirt; Mommy's pink underwear; Elizabeth's blue dress....). It took her awhile to pick up on multiple colored clothing, like my light blue and gray striped sweater, or my blue and white striped sweater, etc. We taught her the sequence of the numbers by doing little things, like counting stairs and we would sing the alphabet song to her as well, just to get her to pick up on the letters. (We sing the alphabet song when we wash our hands.) Sure, we would have to sit with her more to learn the letters and numbers, but somewhere along the way, it started to click. (For numbers, I have a couple of number wood puzzles that aren't bad. However, with both of them, the "9' and the "6" are basically the same, especially with one, in which those two numbers have the same design, but different colors.) I also got her an alphabet puzzle as well. She likes puzzles. She also likes to sit and read, as well. However, we've been reading to her since I knew she could really see the pictures in the picture books.

She might be an anomaly, though. We've been told by others that she seems to be smart. This includes a friend of ours who teaches "special needs" four- and five-year-olds as well. I have not earned my college degree yet, though my husband has a master's. Yet, I was raised by educated, well spoken parents who made sure my siblings and I were also well spoken. In addition, I have no reservations with using complex sentences with her, "big words", etc. It irritates me to no end that my MIL still speaks to my daughter in the third person and she tried using baby words on my daughter as well. (i.e., "nanners", "piggies" for toes). I (and my husband) keep telling her that she won't learn to speak properly unless we don't speak properly with her.

Anyway, this is just me and what has worked for us. We plan on using the same techniques for our son who is due in November.

My daughter is 26 months and she knows all her alphabet and can count from 1-12. She doesn't know her colors though....

Her cousin is 6 years old and can only count to 8 and doesn't know all of the alphabet yet, or colors.

I think it varies from one kid to the next....

By age three, he should already know all his colors, numbers (at least 1-10 but usually more than that), and his alphabet.

attempt some infant Einstein stuff. additionally look for flash enjoying cards. in case you reside on your very own residence(as antagonistic to renting) why do no longer you stencil the alphabet and the numbers if exciting vibrant colours on the wall, someplace which would be reached by utilizing your infant. Sing the alphabet song, my daughter is 4 and she or he would be in a position to nicely known her letters and numbers and all of us started suitable away with those issues. Sesame highway is often good too, consistent with risk a sprint too previous on your infant, despite if that is not in any respect to early to initiate. good success!

Enjoy your time by learning ur child these things by yourself

you can learn him many things after 20 months,even words in other language

Doing so, early with your own love , you've been working on expanding knowledge and intelligence of your child

You don't really have to worry if he cannot completely memorize his colors. A child's development is different from others. I think you should be worried if he can't distinguish any -colors, etc.- at all. That would be the time you would need to contact professional help.
