Simple Sorter


If you don't have any Ping-Pong or golf balls handy, try using round plastic milk-jug lids instead.

Materials
  • Ping-Pong or golf balls
  • Plastic container with lid

Directions

  1. Cut a hole big enough for a Ping-Pong or golf ball to fit through in the lid of the plastic container.
  2. Place the lid on the container and let your toddler have fun poking the balls through the hole.
  3. She will quickly learn how to remove the lid to retrieve the balls, but will need your help to replace the lid on the container so she can start over again.
