What was I made for?

Collect some household items, such as utensils or cleaning equipment, and ask your child what is the same and what is different between the items.

For example, using spoons, they could group the spoons based on their use (e.g. teaspoons and tablespoons are used for eating and drinking; ladles, wooden spoons and larger spoons may be used for preparing food).

Ask your child to create a label for each group of items that best describes their purpose.
