Instructions
1. Make cleanup time a fun learning experience.
2. Notice which toys need to be cleaned up. Begin by asking the children
to look at one area in the room that needs to be picked up. (The block
area with large, colorful blocks is usually a good beginning.)
3. Hold a bucket and ask the children to find all the blue blocks. Continue
until all the colors are picked up.
4. When picking up play food, ask the children to name the different foods
as they put them away.
5. As the room gets cleaner, ask the children to find toys hidden in corners
and under things.
