With Cakes's obsession with colour at the moment we had some paint samples from the hardware she had collected during our last visit sitting on a shelf in her room. I have been collecting ideas for busy boxes for any possible teaching jobs I may get next year and thought the paint samples would be great for a matching game.
While Cakes was having one of her very rare day time sleeps I cut up one side of the paint sample into small pieces and glued them onto some pegs. This took me less than 10 minutes to make.
Initially cakes spread out the colour paper and laid the pegs on top, once shown she sent out to peg the colours. This was and still is a little difficult for her. She can open the peg though struggles to get it in the best position to peg it onto the paper. With practise she will develop the hand eye coordination needed to peg the peg onto the colour. To store the pegs and colours I simply place all of the colours together and peg the pegs around the edge. This allows cake to practise opening the pegs to take them off before she commences playing with them.
