Sensory sorting is a great activity for kids that helps develop their fine motor skills, color recognition, and sensory processing.

For this activity, two colors of buttons were placed in a storage bag filled with clear gel. Pushing the buttons into the proper spaces is a sorting activity, a color-recognition activity and a sensory activity all in one.

Sensory sorting activities are great for children who are tactile learners or those who have sensory processing challenges. This activity can be modified by using different colors, shapes, or types of small objects to sort.
