What you need

Paper and a large child-appropriate crayon.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw one long line and one short line with the same starting point.
  2. Point to each line and describe which stretches farther.
  3. Invite your child to draw another pair for you to compare.

Stay beside your child and put supplies away afterward.
