Where Is the Coloured Bead?

Play Video

Activity

  • Finding a specific coloured bead or button in a collection of beads or buttons

Which skills are developed?

What you’ll need

  • Many beads or buttons of various colours
  • An empty egg carton
  • Stopwatch (for increased difficulty)

Details

  • Start with only a few different colours of beads or buttons
  • As little miss or mister’s skill increases, add more colours to make the collection ‘busier’ or more cluttered (and therefore more challenging)
  • You can also increase the difficulty by turning it into a fun race to see how quickly they can find the bead or button
