Abstract
This study reports our findings about the lack of knowledge about color systems among teachers for preschool kids. Based on these findings a model of action is suggested to enhance the knowledge of both kids and their teachers. First we review the basic knowledge about color: its importance and classic methods to teach this subject. Basically, classic activities to teach colors include: reading, using colored toys, playing games, talking, pointing to things and asking about the names of colors and painting, In this study we suggest teaching colors as a light and waves. Computers as a multimedia centre play an important rule. Actually, a combination of classical methods and new technology based methods are used to enhance the knowledge of both kids and their teachers.

The use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way. Long touted as the future revolution in computing, multimedia applications were, until the mid-90s, uncommon due to the expensive hardware required. With increases in performance and decreases in price, however, multimedia is now commonplace. Nearly all PCs are capable of displaying video, though the resolution available depends on the power of the computer’s video adapter and CPU
