Sorting Buttons

This idea came to me a couple of weeks ago. I had this large medicine container that we were not using. I put several colored buttons in them sorted by color (and arranged according to the ROY G BIV rainbow). I left it out for Gracie to find when she woke up from her nap. She immediately saw it, I helped her open one or two slots, and she took over. She loves opening and shutting the little compartments and moving the buttons around. She even took it to church one night (along with an Easter basket so that she could take the buttons out and put them in the basket). Such a simple setup that brings a lot of fun learning!
