My 3yo in particular loves sorting things and already comes up with really detailed descriptions of things, like 'all the people who are boys and are wearing shoes'... So this would be a great way to help him develop that skill Oh this sounds like a great activity – as you say with any objects we can find.

I think she will love this "game" I'm interested to see the rules she comes up with! We might start with toys because there aren't a whole lot of leaves around our house just now.

There are a number of different items you could do this with! Including buttons, shells, fabric cut-offs, paper and coins. Lovely! I might have to use this whilst out on prac if i get the chance!

We thought it would be easy for them but even just generating their own categories (which were 'opposite' in nature) was new to them.
