LOOSE PART WATER DROPS SIZE INVESTIGATION
Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ water drop.
Describe the shapes. Perhaps extend older children by asking ‘How are they similar?’ ‘How are they different?’ With younger children focus on the vocab ‘big’ and ‘small’.
Why not investigate how many e.g. building blocks or perhaps water themed objects you can fit in each and then compare the amounts? Adapt for different ages by using smaller or larger loose parts.
Why not involve a tool such as tweezers in the process to develop fine motor skills?
For our youngest children these templates could also be used as a stimulus to sort small and big objects…e.g a table of objects with a small and big version of each and the children place the objects next to the appropriate water drop.
