Lily and I made this colour sorter using caps and corks yesterday afternoon. It was so simple to do, but kept her so entertained (whilst being educational) that I had to share it here. It’s my first post for a while, having been making the most of what has felt like one of the longest summers on record. We are still away now (hence photos of our sorter in the sunshine)- oh the joys of my girls not yet being school age and so being able to holiday out of season! The craft puts to great use the leftovers of our summer sundowners but is equally perfect to do at home indoors for some ‘whatever the weather’ play.
Cardboard box
Bottle caps and corks
Paint or paint sticks (we used paint sticks, less messy and quicker drying)
Scalpel or scissors
Pencil
I hope you and your littles enjoy this craft. I love that it’s entertaining but also good for practising fine motor skills and for learning. Lily has had hours of fun with it already having only made it yesterday. Do share your thoughts on this and tag us in yours!

P.S. For more re-use for play using beer boxes this time – a reminder of the farm we made before the start of summer!
