Learning Tip: Sort the socks

As you fold laundry, give the socks to your toddler and ask him to help sort them into pairs. Pairs are two of the same thing; they share some characteristics. Pair one or your toddler's socks with one of yours. Are they a pair? Why or why not?

Sorting and matching are important premath skills. This simple activity will help your toddler learn colours, shapes and sizes.
