Monday Activity, The Color Train

Chalyse loves to line things up and call them choo-choo trains. She also likes to collect similar objects from around the house. She really enjoyed this simple activity.
The Color Train:

Line up a row of cups, bowls, or lids. I used the rectangular plastic baby-food containers. This will be your train. Then go around the house or rummage through the toy box to find objects of of the same color to put in each car. A red car, a blue car, a purple car etc. Here is our color train:

Also use this activity to help teach counting and numbers. Use beans, buttons, small toys, cereal, or anything else small enough then put one in the first car, two in the second and so forth.

Writing the number or color on the car will help your child begin to recognize how it is written.

  1. Very nicely done, Camille. And what precious child. I love the activity idea--used to some things quite similar with one of my granddaughters at that same age.
    We are meeting this Saturday, by the way. We look forward to talking with you then! Jay
