Directions
- You could either pre-sort the items or have your children or students sort the items with you (or independently).
- Don your smock. Use your items to create a personalized creation!
Purpose
- Sorting (In this case according to the attribute of colour)
- Planning and creating a piece. (This could include skills such as cutting, gluing etc.)
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
- Use scissors with care and direct adult supervision.
- Cord, yarn etc. can be a strangulation hazard, therefore be sure to use with direct supervision and for its intended purpose.
- Beads and small pieces can be a choking hazard therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
