Even learning can be fun! And for kids, it must be so. Therefore, they must present any training task in a playful way.
The most popular option for teaching kids is sorting games. In such cases, it is necessary to sort an object by shape, color, sometimes condition. Games differ only in complexity for different age categories of children.
I like to sew and there are a lot of different buttons at home, so it was the buttons that became the main element of a variety of games for sorting and developing active skills.
Some of these games that do not require special training from parents, I will share with you.
Important! Children can play with buttons only under the strict supervision and supervision of their parents!
What does dad have in his wallet?
For this game, we took our dad’s wallet. I cut out rectangles from colored paper in advance that fit the size of credit cards. Instead of coins, she poured buttons. And in other departments she folded wax pencils. The purse itself closed tightly.
- Let's see what our dad has in his wallet? I suggested to my daughter.
My daughter immediately began to consider the wallet with interest. And when I opened it, there was no limit to delight. Dad made her a surprise!
She began to pull out all the “wealth” from hidden pockets, drawing began immediately on the cards. I gave glue so that she could stick the buttons she liked to the drawings.
In the end, you should offer to put everything in place. This trains the memory of the little ones and helps to focus on the little things.
After such a game, the child will no longer get into his wallet, accidentally painting banknotes, and dad will be calm!)
Button rainbow - quick and easy home sorting
For kids, a color sorting game should be the easiest. For example, it is enough to take sheets of colored paper and multi-colored buttons.
Let your child pick up buttons that match the shades of the sheets.
This will not only captivate the baby, but also help the development of concentration, attention, perseverance!
Magic pockets for imagination
For this game you just need to take several pieces of fabric of different colors, cut them into rags and sew buttons to them.
The remnants of the fabric should also be cut and special slits for buttons made in them. Now invite your child to choose the right options!
The main thing in this game is not to prevent the child from creating and combining even the incongruous.
A button-looping game perfectly develops fine motor skills. And the ability to select colors (even if they do not correspond to each other) helps to develop imagination and perfectly stimulates the imagination.
By the way, this is my daughter’s favorite game. A future designer is growing) Among other things, these skills will come in handy when you teach your baby to dress independently.
We also build pyramids of buttons, sort them not only by color, but also by size and shape!
