About this collection
Explore together
Children sort the pantry with Tarçın and his grandmother, grouping things by smell, sound and type, and making a new group when something doesn't fit any of them.
In the colouring pages, children colour Tarçın sorting jars onto shelves and listening to the beans, using the same colours together as they explain the groups. In seek-and-find, they search the messy pantry and the soup supper.
Talk together
1) How did Tarçın sort the jars? Where did he put the tarhana jar? 2) How do you tidy your toys: by colour or by type? Together: Take a few dried pulses from the kitchen (beans, chickpeas, lentils) and mix them up. Let your child sort them first with eyes open, then with eyes closed. Shake each one in a jar and compare the sounds.
