Time To Sort
Kids are very tactile, and learning about colors, shapes, and matching is an important part of childhood development.
For parents who need buttons sorted, or other odds and ends, turn it into a game. Give your child a muffin tin, and explain that each circle belongs to a certain color or shape. Then, they can get sorting.
Color Coded Family
For families with a lot of children, it can sometimes be hard to know where each one is in a park or other public place.
Keep track of each one, by making sure that the entire family is wearing the same color. A vibrant red always stands out, so it is a good idea to buy matching shirts in this color. Then, each family member can wear one of these shirts, which makes them easy to spot.
