About Color Sort
Glass tubes are filled with mixed layers of colored water, and each color has its own little mark. Your child taps one tube and then another to pour the top color over, but only onto the same color or into an empty tube. A tube full of one color gets a cork.
How to play
- Tap a tube, then tap the tube you want to pour into.
- Pour only onto the same color or into an empty tube.
- With a keyboard, press a tube's number to pick it and Backspace to undo.
What your child practices
- Sorting by color
- Planning several steps
