Egg Carton Pom-pom Color Sort
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 toddler loved this fun little sorting activity! I loved to see her use her tiny fingers to pick up the small pom-poms and figure out which color to match it!
