First gather a few things:
small plastic pitcher(s)
water
plastic containers of different sizes
several towels
food coloring
Outdoors is the best place for this, but if you have to stay indoors, you'll want a large towel to catch any spills. Pour water from a pitcher into different sized containers. Which cup has more water? Which has less? Is there more water in the big cup or in the little cup?

 | Young children need our help for so many basic things, but they do like to do some things themselves. Some toddlers and preschoolers insist on pouring their own juice or milk. If you see that your child can do careful pouring in this playful activity, you could offer a small pitcher at mealtime. You might also find fewer power struggles at breakfast by putting some foods like cereal in a cabinet at your child's level. |
