As one mom said to me when she saw this set up
“Who doesn’t love pompoms?”
Then she scooped her hands into the soft balls.
And that was pretty much the same feeling amongst the
children that played at the table.
The sorting was tricky for some because I included
various shades - light and dark - of some colours.
Many children enjoyed filling the jars with random
colours, then sticking their hand in
or shaking it to empty it out.
Others ignored the jars altogether to create
something new.
“It’s a dinosaur.”
But I enjoyed watching these two boys play with the jars.
Playing side by side then sharing the task of
stacking them into a tower one at a time.
Then trying to catch them when they went tumbling down.
