Materials

Instructions

  • Collect toys that were primary colors.
  • Next, tape the white paper onto my kitchen table.
  • Draw a red, yellow, and blue square.
  • Put the primary toys to the left of the paper.
  • Invite your child to sort their favorite toys by color the next morning!

Notes

PRO TIP: I colored each square just enough for my toddler to be invited into the sorting activity without confusion. It didn’t have to be perfect, but it had to look clean and organized to welcome him to the play.
