Easter Egg Color Sorting

March 20, 2018 by Side By Side Learning

Easter is right around the corner! Hooray! We have had the longest winter ever and I am so excited for spring to finally be here. I am looking forward to the beautiful colors that come with spring. We have a couple more weeks left until the snow melts so the colors can start appearing. One way that we are bringing spring colors into our home is a simple Easter inspired color sorting sensory bin.

Easter Egg Sensory Bin Color Sort

Gather Your Supplies

To get started you only need a few supplies. Run to your nearest dollar store and pick up some mini colored eggs (mine are foam) and a bag of shredded tissue or fake grass. You will also need some containers for sorting. I used our painting cups but anything will work, get creative. You will also need a tool to pick up the colored eggs. You can use spoons, measuring cups, etc. I used this set of tools.

Tadaa!! Assembling this color sorting activity is as simple as dumping the supplies in and mixing them up. You can even allow your kids to set this activity up without worrying.

Fine motor practice is essential for young kids.

Being able to control fingers is a skill that your kids will need to master in the up coming years. Building fine motor skills doesn’t have to be boring. Using tongs is one way that you can bring some variety into your child’s practice.

Having your children use the tongs to pick up the eggs is wonderful practice. If you are finding that your child is looking for a little bit more of a challenge then follow their level of interest and ability. Use your containers or cups and direct your children to separate the eggs by color. Each color could have their own container.

Need more of a challenge?

Have your children count the eggs and place a certain number of eggs in each container. Combine counting with color sorting. Ask your child to put two green eggs and 3 yellow eggs in one container. Then ask how many colored eggs are in each container.

Don’t forget to be goofy and enjoy the time you have with your kids!

What is your favorite thing to add to hot chocolate?

You can start teaching your family about their fam You can start teaching your family about their family history long before they can use a computer well. 

We wrote out five generations of names and have been mixing them up and finding their parents again and again. 

They are more than just names to me and they are becoming real people to my kiddos. 

How do you teach your family about ancestors?

I've never had a big brother but if I did, I'd wan I've never had a big brother but if I did, I'd want them to be just like this kid. He's only 8 but he sets the best example to his younger siblings. He is so good at including them in his projects, even when he studies his scriptures. 

I'm grateful for the relationships my kids have with eachother.
Generally I choose books that focus on one culture Generally I choose books that focus on one culture, religion, country or race but today we read about a whole bunch of children around the world. 

I like to add these in our reading occasionally because they are easy to start discussions with kids about our differences and perceptions. 

For example, the Canadian page is nothing like our life. Is it bad or wrong, no way it's just not how we live as Southern Albertans. 

We also talked about simple things like transportation and how it looks different around the world.
