Sensorial Sorting Activities

Sorting is how a young child starts to notice the world carefully. This 24-page printable book focuses on the qualities children learn through touch and sight: colour, shape, size, length, weight and texture.

Each page asks a child to sort, match or order objects by one quality at a time, then to combine two qualities together, such as finding the large red shape among the small ones. The tasks build the careful comparison skills that support later maths, science and reading, without any pressure to name an answer quickly.

The pages move from matching primary and secondary colours, to ordering shades from light to dark, to sorting shapes and sizes, comparing long and short, lighter and heavier, and grouping by texture. Use them alongside real objects where you can, since a child who has felt a rough and a smooth thing sorts the picture far more confidently. Instant digital download, letter paper size.
