Gather up your recycled cardboard and pompoms and create this simple sorting and counting activity for your little ones.

Pompoms serve as excellent tools for enhancing fine motor skills in young children. Engaging in simple yet effective activities with pompoms, such as color sorting, transferring, dropping, painting, and counting, provides a fun and educational experience.

In this activity, we embarked on a straightforward yet delightful rainbow color sorting and counting adventure using the vibrant pompoms we acquired from Pandie. This not only promotes skill development but also adds an element of creativity and joy to the learning process.

NOTE: Always supervise your kids when they are handling small toys and objects.
