How to Make This Activity Fun!
Getting this ready is pretty straightforward, and using it is even more fun. Here’s how I suggest you go about it:
Supplies Needed
Below are the supplies that you’ll need to have to get the best out of these activity sheets!
- Inkjet Color Printer (I highly recommend this Epson printer)
- White Cardstock Paper (If you don’t want to use the gift tags, you can use these)
- Scissors or a Paper cutter for precise edges.
- Velcro Dots to stick the stickers on the jar
Talk About It: Talking about each object as they sort it – “Yes, the banana is yellow, and it goes in the yellow jar!” – helps reinforce color recognition and builds their vocabulary in a playful way.
- Print Everything: First, print out all the pages. I’d recommend using cardstock for durability, especially if you plan to use it multiple times.
- Cut it Out: Next, carefully cut out each of the 8 jars. Then, it’s time to cut out all the individual items from their respective sheets. This might take a little time, but it’s worth it! If your child is old enough, they can even help with some of the simpler shapes.
- Let the Matching Begin! Lay out the jars so your child can easily see all the different colors. Then, encourage them to pick up one of the small item cutouts. You can ask, “What color is this cute tiger?” or “What’s this yummy-looking strawberry?” Guide them to find the jar with the matching color and place the item onto it (or next to it, or even “in” it if you make a slit in the jar printable!).
