Sorting is such an important early math. As adults, we sort all the time! We sort the mail into keep and trash.

We sort the laundry, the bills and the utensils in the drawer. Our brains sort bits of information into categories for easy retrieval.

Young children are just learning to sort when they start preschool. We always start with learning to sort by color and then move onto other sorting, such as sorting by beginning sounds, sorting by quantity, and sorting by pattern.

For this activity, we sorted vegetables by color. Using a Twister board and toy vegetables, we practiced our early skills by placing the vegetables on the appropriate color!
