Sorting Colors




I love using this on a weekly basis in math.  It's a lesson that has legs and can be made into so many different lessons!  Kids love the fact that they get to eat the product after their hard work!  Simply buy a bag of skittles, m&m's, colorful fishy crackers or whatever kind of food you would like to use that allows for a variety of colors  Draw columns on a paper with the suggested color to be sorted along the bottom {I was in a hurry and used markers}.  Encourage the child to sort the colors.  For added math lessons:
  • Counting
  • Sorting
  • Color recognition
  • Concepts of least and most
  • Create groups to work on addition or subtraction
  • Create patterns 
  • Complete patterns
  • Heaviest and lightest {a food scale is great for these activities}
  • Estimation
The possibilities are endless really!
