Take 5-10 pairs of different coloured socks, separate the pairs and place them on the floor. Encourage your child to find the ones that are the same and put the pairs together.
Rolling the pairs together is also a good idea as it helps to strengthen your child's hand muscles, developing their fine motor skills which are important for pencil grip and learning to write.
As your child's confidence grows you could ask them to complete the challenge as fast as they can and beat their score every time.
I had a go at the sock matching challenge today, here's how I got on!
Of course, you can send your challenge videos to stpatricksj.ias@eircom.net
Best of luck with the challenge and happy matching! 😀
