Dear Mommies, have you ever watched your young child naturally sort objects?
Sorting activities often appeal to children and many will naturally sort according to qualities and characteristics they visually notice without ever being taught.
Children have a natural desire to make sense of their world. A world that often feels out of control to them.
So, it makes perfect sense that preschoolers are naturally drawn to sorting activities. They make matches and categorize as a means to bring organization to what they know. As children learn to identify colors and shapes, they can sort and classify objects in around them based on these attributes.
By sorting, children understand that things are alike and different as well as that they can belong and be organized into certain groups. Getting practice with sorting at an early age is important for numerical concepts and grouping numbers and sets when they're older. This type of thinking starts them on the path of applying logical thinking to objects, mathematical concepts and every day life in general. Studies have even been shown that kids who are used to comparing and contrasting do better in mathematics later on.
