Sorting Pasta
Here is one of the easiest sorting activities you can easily make. For those of us on a tight budget this a nice activity. I purchased 4 types of pasta $.88 a bag at the grocery store and dyed each type 4 different colors. This way I can have my kids sort in a few different ways.
- By color
- By pasta type
To dye your pastas:
Use 1 Tbsp of vinegar with several drops of food coloring. I put mine in a zip lock baggy so I can put the pasta in with it and just shake it. The kids love this part.
I like the idea of using the appeizer dish as a sorting tray! Thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great activity for preschoolers. My little girl has alway loved sorting activities. I also love that it is inexpensive to make and do. I would love if you shared this post on my linky party. I am looking for activities that are fun, inexpensive, and kid-friendly.

Love this! I have dyed rice, but not pasta...yet! Love that they can sort these by color or shape! Great idea! I will be checking our your light table activities too, as I just made one, that I play to start using soon. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!
