Low Prep Sorting Activity for Toddlers

This was so quick and easy to put together. I picked up a bag of multi-coloured pom-poms and the dollar store. We had everything else to do this on hand.

Stuff you need
-multi-coloured pom-poms
-4 clear beer cups though if you don't have these I am sure you could modify the activity to suit whatever child safe cups you have
-crayons
-paper
-scissors

Set up
1. Trace the bottom of the cup onto the paper 4 times and colour each circle to match a pom-pom colour.

2. Cut them out and tape them to the bottom of the cup so the colour side  is facing up. The little man liked helping with the tape.


3. Line 'em up and put one corresponding pom-pom in each cup. After that point the little dude took over and sorted them all himself. He was very stoked when he was done, poured them out and did it again. Then he modified the activity, adding a bit of a tossing element to the mix. He loved dumping them out after, especially on the cat.
