As Seen on Reels: Christmas Tree Color Sorting!
Christmas Tree Color Sorting! With this festive holiday activity, reinforce sorting and math concepts with your toddler or preschooler using colorful pom poms. Here's what you'll need:
- A large piece of paper, or you could do a smaller scale tree on printer paper
- Pom-poms (as ornaments)
- Fine Motor Tools
- Sorting Bowls
Encourage your child to pick up a pom-pom ornament and decide what bowl it should go in. Continue sorting until all the pom-poms have been used! This is a great activity to work on fine motor skills, color recognition, counting, and so much more.
Benefits of using fine motor tools:
Handy Scoopers: These unique tools are a handy way to build the muscles needed for scissor cutting! Tools feature translucent scoops and easy-to-grip handles for developing fine motor skills. Holes in the scoops allow for catch-and-release fun during water play.
Build up little hand muscles: Helps develop eye-hand coordination by grabbing small manipulatives or snacks with the Handy Scoopers.
Sensory Integration: Use the Handy Scoopers in a sandbox or water table to discover how the different substances sift through the holes of the Handy Scoopers.
Gator Grabber Tweezers: Sized for little hands and great for developing the pincer grasp! Working on fine motor skills is fun when children get to use an Alligator to grip objects.
Fine Motor: As students pick up objects with the tweezers, they are working on motor planning and eye-hand coordination (visual-motor integration) and refining the manual skills needed for writing, drawing, and daily living.
Sensory Integration: Students who are hypersensitive to textures can participate in tactile play using tweezers to hold and move objects.
Self-Help: Incorporate puppet-like conversations to enhance communication and social interactions. Gator (tweezers) can speak to or try to gobble up the other person, increasing direct contact with another
