Description: Have your children sort various objects into muffin tins. Objects that we have sorted include bread tags and puffs. You can have them sort but colour (easiest), but also by size or shape etc. You can also weave other learning opportunities within this activity such as counting (How many green puffs are there?).
Age: 3+
Purpose:
Colours/shapes/size (other descriptors)
Counting (How many green puffs are there?)
Sequencing (Can you give me five white bread tags?)
Skip counting (How many purple bread tags are there?, arrange into rows of 5 and skip count)
More and less (which pile has more?)
Prep time: minimal
What you’ll need: muffin tin (or containers), and objects to sort (bread tags, craft puffs, buttons etc)
Fun Factor: I have done this activity on multiple occasions with my children. They enjoy playing with objects and sorting them by colour. Every so often I will ask them a questions while their doing it, so they don’t even know they are being quizzed. If you have a lot of things to sort, you can do this multiple times.
