So cute! I couldn't find my tongs one day, but we improvised and used her sister's kid chopsticks (the ones that have the little rubber man on top that holds the two sticks together just like tongs). They are pink and she absolutely loves them. I think they're actually harder than tongs or tweezers because the ends are pointier and smaller, but she loves to see them at activity time.
This is very similar to how I taught Selena her colors, different materials but the concept is the same. As he begins to seem that he is getting them, try putting the balls in a paper bag, and have him take one at a time, tell you the color, then put them in the right place. Selena had a blast with that game, and I believe it really helped reinforce the colors for her.
Great activity for little minds and hands!

Thanks for linking up to Toddler Tuesday! I really like this lesson and will have to do a similar one with Pita Pocket soon. :)
