DIY Montessori Activity

Here is an easy cheap DIY project that anyone can do. It is perfect for introducing color and matching. If you're just introducing color, I recommend starting with only the primary colors (Red, Blue, and Yellow). Once they master those, then introduce more. 

What You'll Need: 
The tray was about $5 at AC Moore. I used a 50 percent off coupon so it came out to about $2.50. The little cups came with a lid. They were $1 each. 
6 balls & a painting tray. 

Each paint tube was .59 cents. 
and lastly some paint brushes. The foam brushes were a pack of 20 for about $2. Everything was purchased from AC Moore. 

Each cup took 2 coats. The paint worked out great! 


We didn't paint the lids because I had another DIY idea for them. 
Will post that blog tomorrow. 

The balls were a little tougher to paint but thankfully the paint dries quickly. 
Whole project took about an hour since I had Davids help. 


And this is the final result. 
It was a super cheap and fun DIY activity that I know Nate will enjoy.
