Week 33

Count, Group, and Compare

Toddler

(Ages 1-3)

Match and sort.
Make a game of matching and sorting objects into groups. Arrange them by color, shape, or size. For example, find as many green things as you can, then sort them from smallest to largest.

Infant

(Ages 0-1)

Compare sizes.
Talk to your baby about things that are different size. For example, put their hat next to yours and say, "Who wears the little hat? Aaron! Who wears the big hat? Mommy."
