ABOUT VALENTINE’S DAY AND HEARTS.
Once again we’re using the Valentine chocolate kisses wrapped in red, silver, and pink foil. To set up the activity place a small amount of kisses in a container beside the printable sorting sheet. If you’d rather not print the printable, you can also use small containers, cupcake liners, or pieces of foam.
Tinker automatically started sorting the kisses by color. Then we counted the amount of kisses in each circle.
As she did this activity we practiced skills like:
- color recognition
- matching and sorting by color
- counting
- one-to-one correspondence
- comparing (the amounts in the different circles)
**You can access the free printable here: Sorting by Color Free Printable**
