Making Busy boxes that are good for different ages.

I have two 4 year olds and a 2 year old. I like boxes that everyone can use. This color sorting box is AWESOME for my 2 year old but after one use the 4 year olds hadn't touched it again. So I decided to take 5 minutes to re-amp it with a little more challenge for the boys.

This is the original. A laminated sheet with 4 colors matching meant to place foam squares of the same color on.

Supplies I used to revamp.....Whole project literally took 10 min.

She played with original while I added to it.

I drew shapes on a piece of paper that the kids can fill with foam squares.

I laminated of coarse.

I thought the concept would be too difficult for her however she put a shape on the color and proceeded to fill the shape with only that color.....Love watching their brains work all by themselves.

Excited to see if this makes this box more interesting to the older kiddos!
