Practical Life Activity Sets

Category Sorting - Build Classification, Vocabulary, and Early Thinking Skills

This rich sorting activity helps children make sense of the world by grouping real-life objects into meaningful categories. With 50 miniature items representing everyday experiences, children develop language, visual discrimination, reasoning, and early science concepts as they sort, match, and classify.

Perfect for preschool and kindergarten classrooms, this material supports Montessori language work, vocabulary expansion, and hands-on categorization. It is equally valuable for parents looking to strengthen early thinking skills at home through play-based learning.

Here is a wonderful collection of 30 charming objects, each in three sizes, with three felt sorting mats, plus labels that are the same width as each mat.

Children sort the objects and place them on the appropriate mats to practice size discrimination, then match labels to the mats to associate printed words with size terminology.

Extensive Teaching Notes focus on key sorting and language concepts, and help with different ability levels. Includes storage basket and laminated word cards.
