How to use your color sorting jars activity
First, grab your free printable PDF file from lower down in the post.
Next, print out all of the pages. I recommend using a heavyweight paper, like this 32# HP paper, or white card stock.

Laminate the pages before cutting, if you want to laminate. I highly recommend laminating the pages with the colored pieces and either laminating the jars or sliding them into dry erase pockets.

Cut out the colored images. There's no need to "fussy cut" around each and every edge. I recommend cutting the pieces into tiles or circles. You can also cut out the jars, if you want.
Show your child or students how to match up images with the appropriate jar color. You can add hook at loop dots or use poster putty if you want to include this activity in a busy binder.

Store the pieces in a small task box to keep the activity safe for next time!
