Hello little explorer!
Today we're going to learn about long and short things all around us! Some things are tall like giraffes, and some are short like bunnies. Let's discover how to tell which things are longer and which are shorter!
How to Compare Lengths
1️⃣ Look at two objects side by side
2️⃣ Compare which one reaches farther
3️⃣ Say "This is longer" or "This is shorter"

Parent Tips 🌟
- Play "I Spy" with lengths: During walks, ask "Can you spy something longer than your arm?" or "Find something shorter than your foot!"
- Use everyday objects: Compare spoons, shoes, or toys at home to practice comparing lengths.
- Make it artistic: Have your child draw long and short lines or create a collage with long and short materials like ribbons or straws.
