All Sorts of Things
Gather items that go together such as plastic cups and saucers. Make sure you
have the same number of each item.
Have your child sort the objects into separate piles. Put all the cups in one place
and all the saucers in another.
Have your child match the items together by putting one cup on each saucer.
Use language like “Do we have as many cups as saucers?”
Repeat the activity with other sets of items such as combs and brushes or shoes
and socks.
This is the Way We Sort the Clothes
Laundry time is a great time to practice sorting.
First, assist your child in separating her clean, dry clothes from the rest.
Second, help her make separate piles for her shirts, pants, and socks.
Sing “This is the way we sort the clothes, sort the clothes, sort the clothes. This
is the way we sort the clothes, now that they are clean.”
Does It Match?
Collect colorful newspaper ads, coupons, and junk mail, then cut out pictures of
things you have in the house. For example, cut out pictures of a box of cereal
your child enjoys, a cell phone like yours, a ball like one your child has, and a
stuffed animal like one of his.
See if your child can find the real objects that match the pictures.
