Talking Points
- "Let's put all the small toys in this box and the big books on the shelf. Can you show me which is bigger?"
- "When we measure, we can see how long something is. Let's measure how long your favorite toy is!"
- "Drawing is like making a picture of something. Can you draw a big tree and a small flower for me?"
