Check out 7 Sorting Activities for Pre-K that are sure to get your little ones thinking! My favorite idea is creating a cereal bracelet. This activity involves sorting and patterns. Fruit Loops and pip cleaners work great for this! Sort by color and create a fun pattern bracelet.
Another super fun way to work with same and different is to do some Nature Sorting. Get outside and sort leaves, pinecones, acorns, sticks, stones, and more! Sort your items into different baskets and see what looks the same and what looks different.
