Sorting & Categorizing Activities For Kids

With pre-school students, it’s important to help them connect with the world around them through sorting and categorizing activities that teach them to identify like objects. Button boards and playing with collected leaves are a cheap and easy way to teach young learners about real-life objects. Use those same buttons and leaves in rounding estimation activities that will build early math skills, too.
