Egg Carton Color Match

Your kid will love pairing painted egg carton cups with matching pom poms while boosting their color recognition and fine motor skills.

You’ll Need:

  • 2 egg cartons
  • Scissors
  • Paint or markers in different colors
  • Pom-poms in matching colors
  • Glue (optional, for extra sturdiness)

Let’s Make It:

  1. Take one egg carton and glue one colorful pom-pom on top of each cup. This becomes the main board.
  2. From the second egg carton, cut out cups as singles, pairs, or sets of three. Paint each piece to match the pom-poms on the base board (single colors or color combinations).
  3. Invite your little one to place each painted piece onto the base so the colors line up with the pom-poms.

Why We Love It:

  • Builds color recognition and sorting skills.
  • ⁠ Improves hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
  • Boosts problem-solving, memory, and flexible thinking.
  • Easy to set up and uses recycled materials.
