I was at the dollar store looking for fun ideas for teaching my son various lessons about colors, matching, sorting, etc. I found a deviled egg tray and thought this would be perfect for little hands. Pair a deviled egg tray with a bag of chenille pom poms and you have a fun and inexpensive learning activity. My son loves it, it is just the right size to put on his lap.
(And, yes, we know it's March and Christmas has passed, but, if the PJ's fit, we're going to wear them!) :)

A very good and economic thought!!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling! If you get a chance, I'd love to have you share it at my linky party at http://scrapbookingez.blogspot.com/2012/03/anything-goes-linky-party_15.html. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! And what a cutie:)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about using the tray (and about using what fits and is in the closet regardless of proximate holiday!) I'm pinning this to my toddler activities board.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, love it! I wear xmas pjs any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteGreat activity! I love the deviled egg tray. Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
ReplyDeleteMy son is still wearing those exact same Christmas pajamas too. Great idea for color sorting when my youngest gets a bit older. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteto add another element give your child tweezers to pick the pom poms up with. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! I'm going to the dollar store today!
ReplyDeleteCute and inexpensive for sure! When I taught Kindergarten I could often tell who had experience sorting...great lesson!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! I'm definitely doing this with my little one! And yes, my daughter is still wearing Christmas pjs too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great simple idea! I'm definitely with you on wearing clothes when they fit. Especially PJs.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Don't feel alone in the PJ department. I think the only ones my children own are Christmas ones!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

I purhased a bag or rainbow colored buttons at at a craft store. Not only are they various colors, but various shapes. I bought a bead storage case and the kids take turns sorting by size, shape, color, etc. 1-5 year olds at my daycare all love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I bet Bryce would enjoy doing this. I'm going to try after he gets up from his nap :) Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! thanks so much for sharing on Craft schooling Sunday!
