What Does Same and Different Mean?
Everything around us can be similar or different in special
ways!
We can look at colors, shapes, sizes, patterns, and other features to find what makes things the same or
different. This helps us understand our world better!
How to Compare Things
1️⃣ Look carefully at each object
2️⃣ Find features like color, shape, or size
3️⃣ Decide if they're the same or different

Parent Tips 🌟
- Play "I Spy" with similarities: "I spy with my little eye... two things that are both red!" This game helps children notice matching attributes.
- Use everyday objects: Compare socks while folding laundry, sort silverware when setting the table, or group toys by type during cleanup.
- Celebrate differences: Point out how differences make things special, like how different flowers make a garden beautiful.
