Size Sorting Box Toddler Activity

Jul 15, 2019 Posted by: Jemelee Arcibal

Quick – gather your supplies. You need a container with a lid and a razor blade. That’s it and you’ve got a size sorting box and one VERY happy toddler!

Here is a laundry list of the drop box activities we’ve made in the past:

  • Pom Pom Push
  • Card Slot Drop
  • Crayon Push
  • Sorting Drop Box
  • Pom Pom Pushing Container
  • And now the Size Sorting Box

Materials:

  • Container with a lid
  • Razor blade
  • Sorting supplies (I used markers, crayons, tooth picks)
  • Take the lid to your container and measure the three (or more) items that your child will be sorting. I traced around them to give myself a rough goal.

Isn’t it amazing how two supplies can make an activity that beats out any toy in the house?

Alphabet Matchup Activity

Jul 13, 2019 Posted by: Jemelee Arcibal

Have a kiddo working on their letters? Try this interactive Alphabet Matchup Activity!

Letters are a fun one to teach kids. It’s easy to track progress, all the growth is readily apparent, and it’s knowledge they’ll need for a lifetime.

Making an alphabet matchup activity is an easy way to move and learn. And definitely much better than boring flashcards.

Materials:

  • White butcher paper 
  • Painter’s tape (wall safe)
  • Giant sharpie marker
  • Regular kid washable marker

Roll out the white butcher paper on my floor first and did all my prep work there.

Along the top of the paper, I wrote CAPITAL letters all mixed up.

On the bottom, write lowercase letters (again) all mixed up.

You don’t need to stress out about letters. This will help you understand what they know about letters and what needs to be corrected.
