Behind the flowers in the below pic is our new favorite sorting game (cards have since been laminated). Each pile has a control card (the one you see) and then 6 pictures of various animate and inanimate objects that are that color. Tonka really enjoys the challenge of finding which column to put each picture, and the only help he requires is an occasional reminder that columns go up and down, not side-to-side.

up/down/side to side-it's all the same! ;)

I'm pretty sure he needs some 3-d items in various colors, to round out the learning opportunity. Let's see, perhaps an efficient way to get many colors would be a bag of m&m-s?
kidding. clearly carrots, bananas, apples, and broccoli is what I was thinking about.
lb: when he's just playing with the stuff on the school shelf, I give him free reign. BUT, when we're working on an activity together, I am much more focused on order, direction (both following mine and learning to look LtoR and UPtoDOWN), and routine. We're also learning how to start and complete an activity the way it has been demonstrated which requires patience, calm bodies, and attention to detail.
probably more than you wanted to know, but oh well. As with many things, I blame my mother. ;-p
