First & foremost stop worrying about your son's inability to identify colours & shape. Even I have a son who is excatly 3 & 1/2 years of age. Like you had written, he is also good in conversation, but he was not good in identifying objects.
I was also worried like you. All I did was, I sat with him for 1 hour daily (1/2 an hour in the morning & 1/2 in the evening) with the concept of colours & shapes. He has shown tremendous improvement. Even now he makes few mistakes , but there is a lot of progress. Do not expect miracles within a week. Some kids like ours are slow in learning certain skills, but, well atleast they are good in conversing. We must feel happy about that.
Do not tell him that he has to learn, tell him \";common lets' play\";. Do not put pressure on him. He will bounce back.
All the Best!
