Place a number of mixed manipulatives on a table. (Various styles of transportation in various colors, various animals of various types[zoo, farm], various colors and sizes of buttons.) Give each child a handful of the manipulatives and ask them to sort the manipulatives. Once done, have the children explain how they sorted the manipulatives. This can be done in small group.
