This activity checks so many early learning boxes and it took less than 2 minutes to set up. I rolled out easel paper, drew one big circle and one small, and scattered a mix of large and small gems across the page. Then I handed over markers and invited my kids to sort: push the big gems to the big circle, little ones to the little circle. They are learning/developing: 🔹 Size comparison and classification (early math!) 🔹 Fine motor control using markers to push and guide 🔹 Spatial awareness as they moved along the paper 🔹 Focused attention and persistence LTKKids LTKFamily
