Sharing is caring!

Pompom can be played in various way. One of the fun way to play with pompom is sorting them into their colors, using Pompom Color Sorting Mat.

Miss 3 loves to sort the pompom according to its color onto one of the airline’s dot pattern bag. But the bag has only 4 dot colors. So it’s not enough for Miss 3.

I made this Pompom Color Sorting Mat to have 10 colors. It also can be cut into 10 stripes, so that your child  can focus on one color at a time.

  1. I do color sorting activities in my Occupational Therapy groups all the time! It’s great for visual discrimination, visual motor integration, crossing midline, targeting a pincer grasp and one-to-one correspondence. Plus the kids think it’s fun! These will be great to put in plastic sheet protectors and use in my fine motor kits. Thanks for sharing!
