Free Spring Sorting Activity Printable

To celebrate Spring, we dove into this Spring Sorting activity by sorting birds into their nests by different colors and by size. This sorting activity is a great way for little learners to work on color recognition and a perfect activity for basic matching skills.

How to Make the Nests

The nests were really easy to make with brown paper bags (lunch size).

Roll the top down and scrunch. Keep rolling and scrunching until you get down to the bottom. That’s it!

Other Ways to Use this Spring Color Sorting Activity

Not only can you sort the bird cutouts by size or shape with this printable, but you can write letters, numbers, or color words on the nests and the same on the birds and then match them up. This is a customizable center activity.
Use these birds for a fun way to make math patterns (red, orange, red, orange or big, small, big, small or have them make up their own pattern using the birds)
Add pom poms (bird food) and plastic eggs to the sorting activity. Early learners will love this and this is the perfect way to encourage pretend play.
This can be used for a variety of math skills. Write numbers on the nests and count the corresponding number of gems into the nest or write an addition or subtraction problem in the nest.
