Today’s activity is once again, ordering objects by height, building upon yesterday’s learning. The idea is to use pictures of bottles of toiletries, linking to our theme of Keeping Clean. Draw two or three bottles of different heights and ask your child to cut them out and arrange them in order of height, from shortest to tallest and then afterwards from tallest to shortest, like this:
Then ask your child to think of ways to decorate each bottle differently. Talk about the toiletries they use in the bathroom to help keep themselves clean. Once they are decorated, encourage your child to arrange the bottles in height order again, shortest to tallest first and tallest to shortest after, like this:
You can then ask questions about the bottles, such as:
Which bottle is the tallest bottle?
What height is the bottle of soap?
What size is the tube of toothpaste?
What is inside the medium sized bottle?
Then set your child challenges such as:
Put your finger on the tallest bottle.
Put a penny on the one which is the shortest .
Put a Lego block on the medium height bottle.
Have fun with the challenges and send us photos of your ideas to:
