Rainbow sorting pencils

A rainbow of play possibilities is packed into these giant crayons. The crayons invite children to peek inside each crayon and discover different color-coded figurines to match, sort and play with imaginatively.

Target skills:

• Basic concepts - Help students identify the names of colors and objects, discover quantities, create sequences and understand spatial relationships such as beside, behind and in front.
• Math - An ideal way to introduce sorting and grouping. Add more fun by counting as each piece is dropped into a pencil tube, or create patterns with the objects to introduce AB patterns.
• Organization - Forty-eight objects separated into 8 tubes of crayons introduce the first organizational skills. Clean-up is part of the activity, with all objects placed in their respective crayons.

Includes:

• 8 cardboard crayons with plastic lids - brown, red, yellow, green, purple, pink, blue, orange
• A total of 48 manipulatives
• Storage box

Each pencil measures 9.5" x 2.5".

Suggested age: 3 to 7
