DIY Montessori Sorting Activity

Here is a fun sorting activities for toddlers. Helps teach them their colors. 

I went to AC Moore and bought these little cups that came with the covers you see above. They were $1 each (cup included with cover).  I created a sorting activity with balls as you see below. Click Here to see how I created this. I didn't know what to do with the covers, so I created a separate sorting activity for those. All you have to do is follow the same steps in that link. All items were bought in the AC Moore wood section. 

I recommend starting with 2-3 colors depending on the age. My son is 20 months old and all 6 colors were too much for him since it was his first time learning about color. 

Montessori Art Activity

This activity was a huge success with Nate. He sat for about an hour just stamping away. The wooden board is from AC Moore, cost about $5. You can find a 50% off 1 item coupon online. The wooden dinosaur stamps are from Target and cost $3(in the $1-$3 section). The paper was from a scrap book I have at home. You may use any type of paper.
