Sorting: it never gets boring. We added shells to the beans and pasta routine.

October 22, 2009 at 6:12 pmDariela: it's really easy! Just put a bunch of items in a bowl, such as assorted pasta, dried beans, shells, etc and your child sorts them into muffin tins. For example, pasta in one cup, black beans in another, pinto beans in another and so forth. For added fun we use chopsticks or a pair of tweezers to sort. You could also sort things by color (such as pompoms).
