“What is Blue Blue Blue – What is Blue to You?”: Using Color to Teach!

Now more than ever it is important that we begin nurturing the education of our children. In our world, knowledge is power and is vital that we employ our children with all of the knowledge we can. Therefore, we should be starting early in our nurturing of education and the learning process. One of the best places to begin with such nurturing is through the educational book “What Is Blue Blue Blue – What is Blue To You?”. 

Crystal Horton’s new book “What Is Blue Blue Blue – What is Blue To You?” was birthed two years ago and is an adorable and unprecedented tool in teaching young children about color and developing reading skills. Her book helps to build color associations through real-life examples and encourages young readers to explore the colors of the world around them. By simply encouraging young minds to actively seek out the colors of the world, they will also be absorbing the skills they need to be intelligent and successful adults.

Ms. Horton is an expert in associating color with active reading and life skills, as she obtained the knowledge of how children learn over the years and applied it to others. Born in North Carolina as the youngest of fourteen siblings and with two children of her own (plus a grandson), Ms. Horton has a great fondness of children. Add to that her twenty plus years of experience in working with young children and her previous ownership of a licensed five-star Family Child Care Home, and you will find quickly that she is fully able to provide valuable knowledge to others. With an A.A.S Degree in Early Childhood Education and a B.S. Degree in Family and Consumer Sciences/Concentration in Child Development and Family Relations, Ms. Horton is clearly qualified to offer insight into how we can provide our children with the tools necessary for them to thrive in the world.

“What is Blue Blue Blue – What is Blue To You?” helps children to learn colors by intentionally using color words and colors at the same time. By creating the connection between the color words and their colors, children are more likely to retain the information and seek out those associations themselves. The book goes beyond just color learning and helps to initiate creative thinking within young children, as well as promoting creative expression and asking open-ended questions. This book teaches children education fundamentals, while also promoting a parent-child interaction in the learning process that helps to build confidence in children and establish connections. By engaging with your children as they begin the learning process, parents can see how important knowledge is for their child and help nurture a learning environment.

What the book is able to do is take colors, which are the most recognizable attributes of the world around us and utilize them in the learning process. Colors are everywhere, from buildings and plants to clothing and food, color invades a child’s world from the moment they are born. That means that colors are the way that children begin to observe the world and categorize what they see. The use of primary and secondary colors characteristics helps to encourage children to begin defining and categorizing the world. That is what “What Is Blue Blue Blue – What is Blue To You?” does for children in a fun and educational way. 

Currently, Ms. Horton is seeking out partnerships with any organizations or individuals that would love to work together to help make learning a more interactive experience for every child.
