Materials Needed: A series of sockets decreasing in size (rob hubby's tool box), a Dollar Tree tray liner with paper or foam, small box to hold sockets all mixed.
How To:
1. Invite child over to see what you have.
2. Gently pull each socket out of the box and lay on the table all mixed up.
3. Find the biggest socket and set it on the left side of the paper.
4. Find the next sized socket and set it beside the largest.
5. Continue until all of the sockets are in a line.
6. Place sockets back in the box, mixed for the next time.
I *think* I saw this activity in Montessori At Home. Some activities I already had and THEN saw them in John's e-book, but I think I got this one from him.
Variations: Go smallest to largest. Make a curve. Stack a tower. Lace them on a shoelace.
