As soon as kids can hold objects while moving, they seem driven to collect and cart things from one place to another. Not only is this kind of play enjoyable – but collecting items also helps children learn important early math skills, such as sorting and categorization!
This simple and budget-friendly activity from Tinkergarten uses recycled egg cartons as containers for children to collect the many treasures that nature provides. Go out into your yard and see what kinds of things they can find! The activity comes with a video and suggested conversation prompts to engage curious early learners.
