Coccs Apple Picking

Christine planned a colour matching sensory bin activity for toddlers. The purpose was to build on the children's prior learning of sorting objects by colour. Children would sort red and green pom poms into toilet paper roll apple trees of the corresponding colours. This would develop colour sorting skills and fine motor skills. Materials included a bin, pom poms, apple trees, and tongs. Children would be called one by one to go "apple picking" and place their finds in the right tree, with encouragement to use tongs or fingers. Afterwards, they would clean up to music before washing hands for snack. Christine would evaluate what worked, what didn't, and how she could improve future activities.

Learning Experience: Fine Motor-Colour Matching Sensory Bin

Programming Purpose:
Last week during circle time, the ECE introduced an activity where the children got
to sort different toys based on their colour. After talking to the ECE, she told me
that the children are learning to sort objects based on their colour. By observing
the children during this activity, I realized that they enjoyed sorting objects by
colour. As a result, I decided to create a sensory bin where the children have the
opportunity to sort apples by placing them in the right apple tree.

Objective:
Children will develop the ability to sort objects based on their colour.
Children will enhance fine motor skills by using pincer grasp to pick up the pomp oms and
place them in the apple tree.

Materials:
Clear small bin
Small Green & Red Pom Poms
2 Toilet paper rolls

Modifications:
Stabilize:

Green Construction Paper


Two Tongs

Opening (Introduction)
Sing, If youre happy and you know it, find a seat, if youre happy and you know it
find a seat. If youre happy and you know it and you really want to show it find a
seat!
Begin saying Last week, Ms. Christine saw her friends doing an activity with Ms. D
where you had the opportunity to place different objects in a bin based on their
colour. This week we are going to pretend we are on a farm going apple picking!
We are going to find green and red apples and then we will sort them by placing
them in the right colour apple tree.
Limits: remind the children that they need to sit quietly and listen to their friends
when they are talking.

Body (Content)
1. Show children the sensory bin and show them the different objects in the bin
such as pom poms, tongs and apple trees
2. Give a visual demonstration on how to use tongs and let children know that

if they dont want to use the tongs to pick up the apples they dont have to.
3. I will call the children one at a time to come apple picking.
4. I will encourage the children to use tongs to pick up apples or I will
encourage them to use their fingers
5. Ask the children how many apples they found while apple picking
6. Acknowledge the children for placing the apples in an apple tree Child B,
great job on placing the green apple in the green apple tree!

Closing (Ending)
Today we had the opportunity to go to the farm and go apple picking. I hope
everyone had fun going to the farm. Next week we will make some delicious
pizza!
Start singing Clean up, clean up everybody everywhere, clean up, clean up
everybody do your share.
Sing the song until the sensory bin is all tidy.

Transition
Children will be asked to quietly stand up and line up to wash their hands for
snack time.
