Make cleanup time fun by asking your little ones to pick a color of toy or clothes or play dishes, etc, they would like to put away. For instance ask your child to put away all the green blocks, or blue jeans or white shirts. This activity reinforces color recognition as well as categorizing which are early organizational skills.
