Sorting by colour, shape and size (or any other attribute) is a great way to develop important numeracy skills at an early age. By creating hands-on learning activities that encourage sorting behaviours, we introduce our little ones to mathematical concepts in a way that is developmentally appropriate and engaging! This activity is simple enough that your little ones can work on it independently, freeing you up to catch up on all the tasks on your to-do list. It’s perfect for quiet time, rainy days or any time you want to keep those little hands busy!
Target Age Group: Preschool - Kindergarten
Subject: Fine motor, Sorting, Colour Recognition
Goal: Develop fine motor skills and sorting (an important numeracy skill) with this hands-on learning activity! Select coloured pompoms and place them on the line flagged by their matching colour. Try to cover the whole line!
Estimated Time: 20-30 Minutes
My favourite part of using the Post-it® Flex Write Surface is that when you’re done, you can clear off your lines with just water (it even comes with a spray bottle and cloth!) and then your activity center is fresh and ready for your next learning experience. Think of all the other amazing lessons and activities you can create with your new activity center. Happy creating!
