More Color Sorting Ideas
There are also a lot of amazing handmade offerings on Etsy that can fulfill this need and desire. I thought these looked beautiful: Egg and Cup Color Sorting; Color Sorting Tray; Cup and Ball Color Sorting; Peg and Cup Sorting.When using color sorting work, I just let the toddler explore. This work is self correcting, in that a toddler can see when a mistake has been made. This self discovery is important for toddlers and a tenant of Montessori education. Additionally, if you see your child starting to enter this sensitive period, try color sorting with just a couple colors -- I start with the primary colors -- and a couple objects. Then, add more over time!
Is your toddler in the sensitive period for order? Does your toddler like to color sort?
