Encourage your child to draw shapes (e.g., circles, triangles) or to find examples of two- and three-dimensional objects around the home (e.g., paper, orange, tissue box).
Play I Spy with household items, providing clues related to their length (longer/shorter) and height (taller/shorter). For example, say, “I spy something longer than an eraser but shorter than a pencil.” Encourage your child to ask questions (e.g., “Is it a cup?” “Is it a spoon?”), and continue to provide clues until your child is able to guess the item you spied.
Choose an object. Ask your child to find something in your home that is the same length as that object.
