Color Sorting Activities!

If you are like me you love simple DIY inexpensive toddler activities.  I really try to limit T.V. time and these type of activities seem to help keep my toddler occupied and entertained. Here are two very easy toddler activities using colored buttons.    Both color sorting activities also enhance fine motor skills.

Color Sorting Activity Supplies:

• Paper towel rolls (cut in half)
• Colored Buttons (inexpensive via Amazon)
• Colored toddler bowls (inexpensive via Amazon)
• Empty egg carton
• Tape

So for the color sorting activity using the bowls, take your cut paper towel rolls and tap them to an area on a wall or door. Any spot really that you want your child to sit and play. I did this activity, once in the kitchen, with rolls taped to the cabinets.  Hey, it’s not always possible to concentrate on cooking with a child that wants to be right there with you! Place the bowls under the rolls.  Try not to make them too high from the bowls or the buttons will bounce right out of the bowl.

The activity using the egg carton is very basic.  This just is having them sort the colors into separate egg slots.  They can group them all in one slot or disburse it throughout.

That’s all there is to it! Hope your toddler enjoys these color sorting activities! If you like this toddler activity you may like my posts on rainbow rice sensory bin or fine motor skill activity.
