Button Sorting by the Hole
Quick, easy and super fun Button Sorting by the Hole idea for toddlers!
Great as a quick learning activity that will keep toddlers content, focused and busy. I’ve tested it and vouch for it! My son (2) loved this fun idea for buttons. He never knew that buttons have different number of holes in them so he was super excited to analyze each button, go through dozens of them, match them up and sort them. It was a great activity that literally took no effort or time prepping for me! Yay!
