Kindergarten Activity No 22 – Colour Sorting

Colour Sorting Activity

Resources:

• Toilet paper rolls
• Paint
• Pompoms
• Child friendly tweezers (Optional)

Activity:

• Start by painting each toilet paper roll in a different colour. It is up to you on how many different colours you want to use.
• Once they are dry, provide pompoms of the same colour of the toilet paper rolls and mix all the different coloured pompoms.
• This activity can be done in 2 different ways. Either:
• Let your child choose a coloured pompom and, after asking him/her what colour it is, encourage him/her to put it in the matching toilet paper roll.

OR

• Ask your child to pick a pompom, from a colour you have chosen, and then put it in the matching toilet paper roll.

From this activity your child will improve his/her colour recognition and his/her hand eye co-ordination.

* In order to reinforce your child’s pincer grasp you can encourage him/her to pick up the pompoms with tweezers.
