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

MATERIALS:<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HOW WE PLAY:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* We roll the die, then choose an item in that color.
\n* 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.<\/p>\n

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN PLAY THIS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

* I-spy!<\/strong> 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!
\n* Counting work<\/strong> – when you’re done with the pieces, you can count how many blue<\/em> you have, or how many red<\/em>.
\n* Guess What I’m Thinking<\/strong> – 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.<\/p>\n

We use our miniatures from Educational Toys Philippines<\/strong><\/em> (available at The Parenting Emporium<\/strong><\/a>). If you’re an Amazon shopper, you may start browsing HERE<\/strong><\/a> (aff link).<\/p>\n
