Simple Sorting

I came across this idea on the Crafty Mumma's Facebook page and loved it. Such a simple activity to make and educational too!!
So here's how we did it. While Master E and Miss M were asleep I added coloured paper spots to the bottom of an egg carton for some colour matching fun.
We headed outside to see what we could find!

All ready for some matching! 

Master E picking some RED leaves to pop into the red spot.

Slowly getting there. White flower, red leaves, brown stick, green leaves, purple flowers!

Miss M was keen to help but not so great at working out where things should go.

All done, we found something for each spot minus the light blue! Master E got right into the matching and was really good at finding the colours. He did need a bit of direction, for example I would say "Can you find something to put in the white spot?" and off he would go searching for the appropriate colour. With some of the more difficult colours I would prompt with "I can see something for the blue spot" followed by a location.   

Master E was really into this one and when we came inside he started to do some matching with his cars.
