    Rainbow Pompoms Sorting and Counting Activity

    Gather up your recycled cardboard and pompoms and create this simple sorting and counting activity for your little ones.

    This post is in collaboration with Pandie! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    Pompoms are great toys for improving fine motor skills in young children. There are a lot of simple activities you can do using pompoms like color sorting, transferring, dropping, painting and counting.

    We did an easy rainbow color sorting plus counting activity using our pompoms from Pandie.

    Niko’s friend, Cailey also joined in the activity. They used tweezers to transfer the pompoms to their matching colors. They did this over and over again.

    Take note that toddlers who love to put everything in their mouth should be highly supervised during the entire activity.

    Let’s create this rainbow activity:

    Materials needed:

    • Recycled cardboard
    • Paint; red, orange, yellow, green and blue
    • Colored papers; red, orange, yellow, green and blue
    • Paintbrush
    • Scissors
    • Glue gun and stick
    • Pompoms; red, orange, yellow, green and blue
    • Cotton pads

    Extra item for the activity

    • Tweezers
    • Container

    Instructions:

    • Paint a rainbow on the recycled cardboard.
    • Cut four small strips from the red paper, bend to form a circle and glue each onto the red part of the rainbow. Make sure that the pompoms can fit into the circles.
    • Do this to the rest of the colors.
    • Attach the cotton pads at the end of the rainbow.

    How to play:

    • Sort the pompoms to the colors in the rainbow.
    • Count the pompoms while sorting.

    Hope you liked and enjoyed our activity!

    My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
