Colour Sorting Activity

The next one up on my new resources that I have been making is this colour sorting activity.  Now you may be wondering why I have Korean written on it, well that is because I will be working for a Korean family who ultimately want their baby to able to speak it as they get older.  By adding the Hangul (and the pronunciation) I can at least help, who knows, I may even be able learn some basic sentences.

Make sure you follow my activities for babies on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To make your own colour sorting activity you will need:

• Cardboard
• Paint
• Pom poms
• Domed lids from Starbucks
• Hot glue gun

While out and about I picked up 4 of the domed lids from Starbucks, they were very happy to hand them over without me having to purchase anything.

Back at home I drew round the lids and made them into fishes of different colours.

Underneath each fish I added the colour in both English and Hangul.

Finally, I used a hot glue gun to stick the lids down.

For this activity I am using the larger pom poms because they are easier to grasp for babies and pose less of a choking risk than the smaller one.

The idea behind this is that the little one posts the pom poms through the holes in the top of the lids.  Because of their size, the pom poms are very easy to pull back out.

If you enjoyed this colour sorting activity, be sure to check out my exploring light treasure basket, and craft stick posting activity.
