Colour Match Bottle Lid

 

I chose this activity because it is great to practice many learning opportunities such as:

· fine motor control

· hand and eye coordination

· concentration and problem solving

· simple sorting and matching by colours

· early counting

 

Materials I need are bottle lids in different colours and matching circles in cardboard.

 

Development area through this activity is to help children get to know colours and develop early counting skills. It also teaches responsibility. Sorting and matching colours is simple to set up and will trigger any child’s curiosity to play and have fun.
