My son Austin (5) has shown a lot of interest in coins recently so I decided to create some sorting activities for him. I've linked them below and they are FREE :)
The first is coin sorting cards (seen on the box above). Cut them out, glue or tape onto a box and cut holes. Your child can sort a handful of coins by dropping them into the correct slot in the box.
The second activities is a coin sorting mat. Print it out, give your child a handful of coins, and let them sort them on the printed mat.
The third activity is a coin sorting cut and paste printable (pictured below).
For younger kids, you might want to just start with sorting 2 of the coins (pennies and one other coin). Brooklyn (2.5) was able to sort pennies and quarters by differentiating between the colors and sizes. This way, both my kids were able to participate in the fun!
Rating it after you download is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
