Recycle some of your Kleenex boxes for this fun game that teaches colors as well as helps develop small motor skills. Tie the ends of few different color scarves together. Put stuff the scarves in the Kleenex box leaving a corner of the top scarf out. Place the box on the floor or in a kitchen cabinet for the toddler to find. Watch as he pulls out the scarves and talk to him about the different color scarves being pulled out……”Oh that is green, that one is yellow, etc.”
