#1. Colour Sort Craft and Party Game

Let’s start with a really easy one for younger kids. Get some egg cartons and have the kids paint them in colours of the rainbow. Once they are fully dried put them on a sensory table along with a huge collection of colourful pom poms, and whoever fills the right colours in the correct carton wins a prize!
