The sock rainbow

Gather a few things

Several clean adult socks in different colors.

Let’s play

1. Lay out two colors of socks.
2. Name the colors as you hold them up.
3. Invite your toddler to put similar socks together.
4. Make silly sock puppets when sorting loses its sparkle.

Make it work for your child

Younger children can simply fill and empty a basket. Add a third color when your child wants more.
