Sorting Scraps with Ethan

Another goal for this year is to get my scraps sorted and organized.  I had some help with that today from my nearly three year old grandson Ethan.

We were playing "stay off the firery carpet" using the puzzle mats, when I suddenly thought of another way we could use the mats.

The reds, blues, greens, and yellows were easy, but the multi-colored prints had to go in the "all mixed up pile"  

This actually was an efficient way to sort and work through my box of scraps, and I am further along in my sorting and organizing.  I plan to have a separate container for each color, and probably a few containers for the "all mixed up" pieces.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.

  4. I think this is the best way to learn your colors! You just invented a new and wonderful game.

  5. I am going to have to try that. I am afraid that my grandson may only be attentive for five minutes, though. Great idea!
