FREE 10 Strips of Pompom Color Sorting Mat for Toddlers
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.
Preparing Pompom Color Sorting Mat Activity
This activity is very simple and easy to prepare
Materials needed :

Add some twist
There so much way to make this Pompom Color Sorting Mat fun and engaging. Among other twist we can do :
- If you wish to reuse the Mat, you can laminate it before pompom play.
- Or if your child need to focus only on one color at a time, you can cut the stripe after laminating the Mat.
You can also add in other things to enhance fine motor skill, such as picking the pompom using kitchen tong, or tweezers and put it into the dot color.
Other things that can be used to replace pompom in this play

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!
