DIY: COLOR GAME FOR TODDLERS (SLASH I-SPY)

Sharing one game we play at home that my toddler absolutely loves! We call it the Color Basket, because the materials we need are all in a basket.

MATERIALS:

– Different miniatures/ toys in specific colors you want for your game (I decided to stick with the primary colors)
– A die (or any cube from your child’s blocks – color each side with the colors of your items)
– A containter (basket, tub, basin — it’s up to you!)

HOW WE PLAY:

* We roll the die, then choose an item in that color.
* Nobody wins. It’s just a game of choice and color recognition – I go for non-competitive games to encourage my child to enjoy the game more than the concept of winning.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN PLAY THIS:

* I-spy! We also love doing this. But for I-spy, I put all sorts of miniatures and not mind the colors. This is great for language!
* Counting work – when you’re done with the pieces, you can count how many blue you have, or how many red.
* Guess What I’m Thinking – This is a great language game for older children. You can silently choose an item from the basket. Then just give clues. Ex: It’s yellow. It is used as a tool for carpentry. Then the other one will guess what item you silently picked.

We use our miniatures from Educational Toys Philippines (available at The Parenting Emporium). If you’re an Amazon shopper, you may start browsing HERE (aff link).
