AdventurerTheClothespins are a great toy for children. With them children can experiment and learn colors.
Make a flower from the corrugated board to attach the clothespins to it later.
Cut out a circle for the sun to attach the clothespins to it later.
Cut out a circle in diameter of about 30 cm.
You can make this without the children and make it available, or you can do it with the children.
Put clothespins in a bowl or put them on the floor.
Let the children experiment and get to know the material. How do clothespins work, what can you do with them? Where do they hold them? For example, on the sweater sleeve or on the pants, on a blanket, etc.
Game variants for learning colors:
1. Game variant: The children get the yellow circle. You can now cling the yellow clothespins to the circle and thus symbolise the rays of the sun.
The children can try to cling as many clothespins as possible to the circle.
2. Game variant: The children should sort by colors and arrange them in containers/snacks. When sorting, you can repeat the color over and over again. Finally, the child can name the individual colors again.
3. Game variant: Give children the flowers and give the task: to cling a red flower, then a blue, a yellow, etc. Tip: tell the children about it, red are for example poppies, roses, yellow are sunflowers, blue are violets etc.
4. Game variant: The children can create patterns, e.g. as a task, first with green brackets, then with orange, then blue brackets. Alternatively, patterns can also be released. Simply provide the brackets. The children can lay and then tell them what they have laid.
5. Game variant: You build up a skill exercise for the children by placing a plastic cup / measuring cup on the floor and placing a ball on it. On top of the ball you place the 30 cm diameter clay box. The children cling to these clothespins and make sure that the paper does not slip from the ball.
...that's what it looks like from above.
6. Game variant: tension the clothesline or cord. The children can now always pin the corresponding color to the leash after calling the colour. This also works well with several children. Then the children can cling the colors to the leash for the bet.
Have fun and we are happy to find out what else you have for ideas.
