Gift Box Pom Pom Color Sorting Activity- Free Printable
Today we have a super simple color sorting activity your child will love! Perfect for December, but you can use this any time of year. Make sure you grab the free printable included in the supply list!
Set up
5 minutes
Print out the free PDF and construct the gift boxes. This is the longest step, so you might want to do this ahead of time if you have a very eager child waiting on you.
Place pom poms in a bowl with tongs nearby and let your child sort by color!
Clean Up
1-3 minutes
Collect the pom poms and store them for later use.
I left the paper boxes out for the other kids to play with at a different time, but throw these away when you are done.
Everyone loved this activity and I loved the simplicity! Especially in all of the Christmas prep craziness (or is it the baby prep that’s getting to me this year?), a super easy set up is very much appreciated! With fine motor skills, color recognition and matching, and a fun way to practice size comparison, this activity packs a punch.
We used pom poms today, but this would also be a great activity for colored cereal, buttons, or other manipulatives/loose parts if you have those on hand. Wooden loose parts like these are on my wish list for the kids, but I feel like that will have to wait until after our newest arrival is beyond the 2 year mark. My kids love hiding treasures and I don’t need more choking hazards!
I hope you enjoy this fun activity! Don’t forget to grab your free download to make this a breeze to set up.
