SortWalkPals

Six toys walk down six chalk lanes. In each chalk box, two toys meet and the smaller steps up. Guess: will they swap? Box by box, they walk out smallest to biggest, every time. Rub out one box and find the mix it can't sort, then chalk it on the pavement and walk it for real. Ages 6–8.
