Activites for Kids: Shamrock Color Matching

Sharing is caring!

I love when you can take learning and fun and combine them together, like this St Patrick Day craft. Learning to sort is a basic math skill that children can do at a very early age. This may be my favorite activity for kids yet!  It combines colors, sorting and food with a holiday twist.   What kid wouldn’t love shamrock color sorting?

Shamrock color sorting is simple and I even provide the fun printable.

For this activity you will need:

• Shamrock printable [provided below]
• Fruit loops or Fruity Cheerios
• A plate

Have your child match the fruit loops or cheerios to the colored shamrocks on the paper.   You can cut out the shamrocks but I thought it would be easier to clean up if I left them on the paper.

My 3 year did great with the color sorting while my 2 year old just wanted to eat all the cheerios. (Have you tried Fruity Cheerios? Yum! We love them.)

The cleanup was easier then I expected.   My kids ate most of the cheerios after they were sorted!

Have fun learning and enjoying this tasty treat!

I am sharing this awesome educational activity on these linky parties. Linky parties are a great way to grow your blog!
