Big ones here, small ones there! Sorting by size is another way to put things together.
Key idea
Things the same size can go together.
For the grown-up: Sort shoes, spoons or rocks into a big pile and a small pile. Use the words big, small, bigger and smaller as you go. Stop while it is still fun. Then go and play the real-life version.
- Try it at home: Sort big and small spoons.
- Sort rocks from a walk by size.
- Put big toys in one box and small toys in another.
