Abstract :

A child, in the interaction with other children, adults and the environment, creates a unique understanding of the world, . He knows the world in all senses, observes what is happening, knows basic color names, finds them around himself/herself. Nature gives the child natural learning tools that create a special colour background, the emotional tone for education (learning) process. The color is a daily children's companion, which never disappears. Through various objects and phenomena color living environment educates a kid or, conversely, crushes the child's emotions. Preschool focuses on children's knowledge of colors, creating color environment. Color environment appears not only inside the kindergarten‘s environment, but it is also natural. A child likes the nature at different seasons of the year, because everyone has his/her own way of fun and has his/her own color background. The color to a child is more than a technical tool. Colors help to express emotional experiences. Various tests, color tests help to determine what colors children love most, which ones dominate in the children's drawings, what seasons are the favourite because of their color background, what color of the room, kindergarten‘s environment the children would like most. Canadian scientist‘s Max Lusher‘s color test helps to reveal the hidden child's mood and stress. Howard Gardner's intelligence theory is oriented towards the fostering of intellectual abilities and cognitive development of the model. Naturalistic intelligence helps to develop the children's respect and love towards the nature, the ability to watch it sensitively.
