Activity for Nathan: Sorting!!

Nathan and I enjoy doing all sort of activities at home as crazy playing of toys, ball shooting and dancing is too tiring for the mother. Yes, honesty is the best policy. The kiddo is never tired so sometimes these calmer, sit-down activities benefit not just the kid's learning but allow some rest for the mother too!

Today we did sorting!

Basically, I cut a portion of the egg carton. They are the best for sorting activities. :)

Depending on your child's ability, you can decide how many types of beans you wish to sort. For Nathan, he has tried 3 types. So today, I upgraded him to 4 types! :)

You start with putting one type of bean in one hole and do the first round with the kid, introducing the colours. 

Then just let the kid continue!

Key to note: CELEBRATE SUCCESS
(What cause kids to not want to continue is parent focusing on when the kid sort wrongly)

So each time Nathan put one bean correctly, we cheer and dance! :)

So, have fun with this activity!

Here's some photos!
