Egg Carton Pom-pom Color Sort

egg carton pom-pom color sort (1)

 

This Egg Carton Pom-pom Color Sort is not only simple and takes just a few minutes to prepare, but it’s a great RECYCLED idea too. I mean, probably most of us come across an empty egg carton at home so why not make something out of it before it goes into the trash?

My kids love sorting activities and games! Oh and I’m glad they do because typically sorting activities aren’t hard to make! Usually you’ll need just a few basic materials and you can make a super fun, learning activity in no time.

My toddler loved this fun little sorting activity! I loved to see him use his tiny fingers to pick up the small pom-poms and figure out which hole to poke them through!

Materials:

  • Small pom-poms
  • 18 egg carton
  • Crayons
  • Screw driver

Instructions:

Flip the egg carton upside down and color the tops of the egg carton in various colors (my pom-poms were white, yellow, pink and light blue). Once you’ve finished coloring, use the screw driver to carefully poke a hole in each section. You can use a pen or pencil for this step too. Now you’re done and your toddlers are ready to sort!

What is my child learning?

-Colors (sorting, differentiating, naming)

-Fine motor skills (using thumb and pointer finger to pick up the small pom-poms and poke them through the hole into the egg carton)

-Cognitive skills (like any matching or sorting activity, thinking, analyzing, comparing are all skills being exercised)

-Independency (this activity is great for working on independency, concentrated attention and focus)

•Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper• Hav •Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper•  Have you ever heard of @natureprintpaper? This magical blue paper captures anything you place on it, using the sun! ☀️ It’s amazing and I really wanted to tell you guys about it! ✨ We did a simple but beautiful Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper! 🌲  Nature Print Paper was kind enough to send us a packet of their paper for my kids and I to try. And let me tell you, we had a blast! It’s truly magical! We collected some outdoor nature finds, like pinecones, pine needles, evergreen and twigs. Get creative and use wildflowers, acorns, grass, weeds, leaves, anything you can find! After collecting our nature finds, we used Nature Print Paper to capture the shadows and then taped them to a piece of cardboard and labeled each print. It was a ton of fun!  I’ll link this activity to my bio so you can try it too! ❤️  💫SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!👇🏻
