Sorting Beans and Chickpeas activity
for Toddlers and Preschoolers
I love bringing forth easy and fun activities that my little one would love to play at home !
This particular activity is so easy to set up.
Learning Math concepts for kids doesn't have to be boring.
I will be sharing exactly how I put this simple sorting activity together below .
Materials :
- A bowl of Kidney beans
- A bowl of chickpeas
- A tray
- A mixing bowl
And, that's really all there is to it !
Sorting activity for Toddlers and preschoolers
Sorting activities can be easily created out with few items in the kitchen and this is how I put this fun activity for learning simple classification math concept for kids :
- Place 2 set of similar sized bowl, fill one bowl with chickpeas and the other bowl with red beans
- On a tray , place the 2 filled bowls and add 1 big sized mixing bowl.
- Empty both the filled bowls and pour them onto the mixing bowl.
- Mix the beans and chickpeas or at the best, let your child do the mixing part . Its fun 😂
I used colored chickpeas as they are colorful and vibrant and make the activity look more enthusiastic and entertaining. My little one knew at once, that it was time to sort .
This is a wonderful way to play and learn while teaching toddlers about group classifications.
My little one really loved playing this activity . He did mix few beans in the chickpea bowl , which he realized later and corrected it .
This activity is a fun lesson to learn in preschools as the focus here is to gain pre writing skills ( AKA fine motor skills ) by strengthening the hand muscles.
The little tiny beans and chickpea do a wonderful job of making your child focus and determined to classify the beans and chickpeas accordingly.
