Turn color matching and fine motor skills into a festive and novel experience for your kiddos.

COLOR MATCHING ACTIVITY

Easter Color Matching Play

Grab some Easter eggs, pompoms or beads, and a pair of kid friendly tongs or chopsticks! These are fun chopsticks for eating and fine motor activities.

We used a tray from our {real} eggs and two containers, one for pom poms and one for the other half of the plastic eggs. Match the color of the pom pom with the corresponding colored Easter egg.

Preschool age children love novelty. These plastic Easter Eggs have so many uses for fun activities that help develop fine motor skills. We are getting ready for a strong pencil grasp! Plus we are practicing color matching too!

This easy to set up Easter fine motor activity is perfect for little hands. I love these kid friendly chopsticks while I encourage using the thumb and first two fingers to work!  He thinks capturing the pompoms is exciting play.

If your child is a bit young for fine motor tools have him use his thumb and first finger to pinch the pompoms. Still great Easter fine motor work!

The pompoms were a little tricky to pick up in this Easter fine motor game. He had to take his time to get each one. For some it was best for him to hold the pompom with one hand and use the chopsticks with the other! Patience make this Easter fine motor game great practice.

Additionally, this Easter fine motor activity involved color matching! Not only did he have to concentrate on picking up the pompom, but he also had to drop it in the correct egg. Learning about colors and color recognition with this simple color matching game is a great activity to keep them entertained and engaged.

To finish this Easter egg activity, he simply had to pick the right color egg top and close the egg back up. More great opportunities for color matching and fine motor skills practice!

Practicing fine motor skills and color matching can be fun and simple to do anytime!

We love simple to set up activities like this Easter fine motor and color matching activity at home, but I bet it would be perfect or school and day care too!
