Directions Learning to sort colors takes time, but this is a good way to begin practicing decision making. Put the plastic bowls on the table and assist with sorting a few of the colored objects by size or color into the bowls. Extensions

Talk about the colors as you sort, using their names.Work together to sort all of one color for you, and all of another color for your child.Turn the bowls upside down and ask your child which color is under each.
