Sensory Sunday - Snacking



Hey, it’s Sensory Sunday again and today we will be doing some sorting with snacks! Our kiddie plates are perfect for this easy project. This activity is good for developing a child’s sorting and patterning skills. 

What you will need:
🍪 1 - 2 Kiddie Bites plates. You can find these plates on Amazon and use code KIDDIE10 for 10% off your plate set.
🍪 2 - 4 small snacks. For this, I used Kashi wheat squares, popcorn, chocolate chips, cheerios

There are 3 ways I found to set up the snacks to help your LO sort them. The first way was to place a few pieces of each snack in the smaller sections of your Kiddie Bites plates. Then in the larger section mix the 4 snacks together. Then explain to your little one what to do. Demonstrating how to sort is also a great way to explain. If you are demonstrating what to do say hooray and clap when you place the snack in the correct section. This way your LO knows they did it correctly. This can also be a fun game. Especially when your LO sneaks a few or all the snacks. 

The second way you can set this activity up is by placing all the snacks in the large container and let your LO decide where they go. This will also help to develop their independence.

The last way worked best for Sephira because she was way more interested in eating her snacks. So I took the mini wheat which was her least favorite and I buried her favorite snacks underneath. This is a similar concept to hiding toys under a blanket.

Hope you enjoyed this edition of Sensory Sunday!
