Organised drawers

Math

• The child utilized measurement skills by ensuring that all items fit properly in the drawers, considering their dimensions.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore other areas where sorting and categorization play a role, such as organizing digital files on a computer or arranging items in a pantry or closet.
