School vs. Toy Sorting

Students sort objects into two categories: school supplies and toys. They study each object and draw a line connecting it to the correct grouping area. This exercise builds classification skills by asking students to analyze object purpose rather than size or color. It strengthens real-world knowledge by helping children distinguish between items used for learning and items used for play. Visual discrimination is enhanced as students observe details such as shape and function. The activity encourages decision-making and reinforces logical grouping strategies. The line-drawing component supports fine motor development.
