Celebrate Spring with this fun sorting activity!
Yesterday I made my own Easter grass and I am using part of the colorful shredded grass to make a sorting game for the kids…
Preparing the Materials
I started by gluing a handful of colorful shredded grass to paper plates. This gives a little bit of a birds nest look but with lots of spring colors…
Sorting by Color
I will set out the colorful “bird nests” along with a basket of plastic eggs that are the same color for the children to use as a sorting game…
An Invitation to Create
I am thinking that I may even get some smaller paper plates and invite the children to make their own colorful bird nests…
Sensory Exploration
The remaining shredded grass will be used for sensory play along with more plastic eggs and other items for sensory play. The children can mix up all the colors as they wish in the sensory table…
Don’t you just love all the spring colors?

Thanks for the mention again! This looks like an awesome game! I need to buy more plastic eggs!
I have way to many plastic eggs – if you lived close by I would just give you some:)
What a great way to create a sorting game, the colors, the eggs, what fun. My daughter just looked over my shoulder and said “we should do that for Easter!” Well, I guess I need to see if our shredder still works. 🙂
I love it Jackie – your daughter is a smart girl:) I hope that shredder works.
Absolutely love this activity! This is something that I definitely would have done in my Pre-K classroom with my students! They would have loved it so much! Thank you for sharing :0) Great activity perfect for Easter!
This is an easy activity to pull together for just about any age!
