COLOR LEARNING ACTIVITY

Let your child learn colors and motor skills with this fun and easy to make button activity. They learn their colors by the brightly colored felt squares. And they sharpen their motor skills by practicing buttoning and unbuttoning the felt squares onto the ribbon. 


Here's what you need:
*Brightly colored felt 
*Thick width ribbon (I chose a cute Mickey ribbon)
*Large buttons in bright colors

First, cut a piece of ribbon to about 8-10 inches long. Then with a needle and thread, sew one large button on each of the ends of the ribbon.  After you finish the ribbon, cut the felt into squares about 4in x 4in. I cut about 4 squares of each color so that my son could do patterns.  
Fold each square in half and (on the folded side) cut a slit in the middle to make a small opening in the center of each square. (Just big enough for the button to fit through).  

Now your ready to let your toddler have fun learning about colors! :))
