I have seen this practice in lots of workbooks, so of course I tried to make my own:) In many workbooks they ask the kids to cut out pictures and then organize them into categories indicated and glue them into the columns. This was the most basic form of that exercise that I could think of, and from here I can make it more advanced.
I put the color pieces in a box and asked him to close his eyes when he picked them. Then he had to glue them in the right column. We also worked in some math because we knew there were 4 in each color (i.e. we have 2 red, how many are left to find?). It was also kid of a race to see which color would "win".
Definitely planning on doing similar projects with variations - he really enjoyed this one. I think next I will do sort by shape, but use different colors.

I love this idea! Perfect for an afternoon inside - I'll be making one for G. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI was worried he would get bored gluing 16 pieces of paper, but he was totally into it! And he liked that it went in his binder. I am excited to start filling it up!
