Colors Tot-tubs

Tot-Tub #1 (top left) Stringing Pipe Cleaners

Cut holes in the top of an oatmeal container and put colored round paper hole strengtheners on each hole. Put pipe cleaners in the corresponding color holes.

Tot-Tub #2 (top right) Color Wheel Clothspins

Laminate a color wheel and paint one color onto each clothes pin.  Let the child attach the colored clothspins to the corresponding color on the color wheel.

Tot-Tub #3 (middle) Sorting Pom-Poms 

Child uses tongs to sort colored pom-pom balls into the corresponding colored bowls or in this case I used paint lids.

Tot-Tub #4 (bottom left) Lacing Colored Buttons

Child laces the buttons onto the corresponding colored shoe string.

 

Tot-Tub #5 (bottom right) Color Arrow Puzzles

I printed out and laminated the Color Puzzles #2 for T to put together.

 

Color Headers

I found these Color Headers in the Target back to school clearance last month.  I punched out the pieces and laid them on the floor for T to match up. 

Crayon Box
I used page 1 in our A Beka Arts & Crafts with Button Bear book.

T could practice his fine motor skills putting his crayons in and out of his little paper crayon box.

Brown Bear Heads and Tails
First we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr.  Then I printed out pages 13-15 this Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See Pack for T to match 2 piece puzzles together. 

Brown Bear Mini Book
I printed out pages 2-4 of this Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See Pack for T to color.

Then I cut out the little pages and laid them on the floor out of order. As I read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do Y ou See? by Bill Martin Jr. he lined them up in the correct order.

Then I stapled them all together.  He loved having a little book that he made, and it was of a familiar story!

Sorting Pattern Blocks
I got out colored paper and let T sort the colored pattern blocks onto the corresponding color.

Sorting Colored Cards

 T got out his Eric Carle Animal Alphabet cards and started sorting them by color.

Color Magnets
I found these magnets that could be sorted by shapes or colors at Target.  
  

Colored Tooth Picks
I painted 5 sections of the styrofoam piece and let T stick the colored tooth picks in the corresponding colors.

  
Sorting Shades
I got some paint samples and cut apart the shades.  T sorted the shades under the correct color.

Paint Brush Color Matching File Folder Game
I found this fun Paint Brush Color Matching Game for T to put the paint brushes into the matching paint jars.
