This is a great math mat for color sorting. I use with M & M's but you can use pom pom's or other color sorting manipulatives. Works great with the FUN Size packs of M & M's as an individual activity. The children sort the colors onto the matching color animals. Then they can count how many of each color and write the number on the half sheet recording paper. Super easy, super fun way to learn about colors and numbers. The best part is eating the sweet snack at the end. ;)
