Leaf Colors
Description
Young children exhibit an innate desire to make sense of the world around them. One way for children to create order in their world is by sorting objects, which is also a critical early math skill! Tap into a child’s natural need for order by sorting a collection of leaves by color. For an additional sensory experience, add leaves (real or imaginary) to a sensory bin and sort them as they are discovered.
