Your child can look at a messy pile of items and group them together based on a single chosen rule, such as color, size, or shape.

While cleaning up or unpacking travel bags, your child automatically puts all the blue blocks in one pile and all the red blocks in another, or separates big sea shells from tiny sea shells.
