If you’ve been following along here and especially on Instagram {come on over and follow me there if you don’t yet!}, you’ve probably heard about how much N loves his rainbow bears. He plays with them every day, sorts them by color, lines them up or simply dumps them out of their bucket, puts them back, then dumps them out again.
I’ve already shared a basic color sorting printable we use with the bears, but I’ve made another version when I found some ah-mazing rainbow bear clip art: This Rainbow Bear Colors mat is obviously perfect when playing with actual rainbow bears, but will also work great for any other type of color sorting activity, for learning color words, rainbow order, etc. Here’s how we turned it into a simple matching game that’s perfect for toddlers!

Materials for Rainbow Bear Colors Mat
