Hello, Yellow II
Parent guides toddler through a color identification game using yellow gelatin and colorful fruits. The agent coaches the parent to observe color recognition, following verbal instructions, and sorting by color — building early cognitive categorization and language skills.

What you'll need
Table with yellow gelatin mix, bowl, spoon, plastic knife, and four fruits: two yellow (banana, mango) and two different colors (strawberry, blueberry). Toddler seated comfortably where they can see and reach ingredients.
How it works
- 1~30s
Start by showing your child all the ingredients together. Point to each fruit and name its color: 'yellow banana, yellow mango, red strawberry, blue blueberry.' Now ask your child a clear question: 'Can you point to something that's yellow?' Watch carefully how they responds. Does your child look at the yellow fruits? Does they point to one correctly? Tell me what you notice.
Watch for: Toddler correctly identifies a yellow object when asked, either by pointing or verbalizing.
- 2~35s
Now let's check if your child can distinguish yellow from another color. Ask them: 'Can you point to something that's red?' (or 'blue' if you're using blueberries). Watch how your child processes this different request. Does they look at the correct colored fruit? Does they seem to understand this is a different color question? Notice if they points to the strawberry confidently or hesitates.
Watch for: Toddler identifies a red object when asked, showing ability to discriminate between different colors.
- 3~40s
Now let's apply this to our gelatin making. Say to your child: 'We're going to make YELLOW gelatin. Can you help me find all the YELLOW things we need?' Gesture to include both the gelatin mix and the yellow fruits. Watch how your child responds. Does they point to multiple yellow items? Does they understand 'all' means more than one? Notice if they systematically identifies the yellow gelatin and yellow fruits together.
Watch for: Toddler identifies multiple items of the same color when asked, showing early sorting/categorization ability.
