A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Several clean adult socks in two distinct colors and two low, lightweight baskets.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Place one sock of each color in a different basket as an example.
- Choose another sock and compare it with the examples. Place it in the matching basket together.
- Continue with the remaining socks, then count how many are in each basket or invent a different way to sort them.
Adult stays beside the child, chooses suitable socks, and keeps them away from the mouth. Choose colors the child can distinguish or sort by another feature instead.
