I've been trying to do at-home preschool with Ash and Britt. Mostly Ash. I have several activities set up on trays or baskets and put on our shelves. Every time I put something new on the shelves, I give each girl a little lesson on how to use the materials and then they can choose for themselves when/if they want to do that activity again.
Yesterday I put out a sorting activity that was a huge hit with both girls. I filled a box with some string and objects beginning with the letter B (which is our focus letter right now): beads, balloons, blocks, and buttons. They simply make a loop out of each string and then sort the objects into their appropriate categories.
I will be doing this frequently, now that I know how much they love it. I'll definitely switch out the objects and maybe throw in a piece of chalk instead of string since the girls have chalkboard topped desks. So many possible variations with this one!

That does look like fun! I can see Isaak enjoying an activity like that! He loves little objects.
I like doing sorting activities when I was a child. Does your girls like coloring too?
