THINGS TO DO!
Outdoor Size Hunt
Take along two paper bags, with one labelled “small” picturing a fingernail and the other labelled “big” and an illustration of a hand.
Challenge your child to find nature items and decide if they are big or small, placing them in the correct bag.
How Many Hands Tall?
Ask your child to lie on the floor, and then arrange their hands next to them in a tower, to show how many hands tall.
With more than one preschooler, you could have them set out their hands for each other’s frame size and compare their results (bigger/smaller or taller/shorter). Children then tape their hands together to save, dated, in their room.
