Hard and Soft
Tell hard things from soft things.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.
For grown-ups
Your child tells hard things from soft things by how they feel. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 36
- We can learn about things by feeling them. Some things are hard. Some are soft.
- A rock is hard. Squeeze it all you want. It stays the same shape.
- A teddy bear is soft. It squishes when you hug it.
- Your turn! Point to the hard one. The brick!
- Try it with a grown-up! Find three things. Sort them into hard and soft.
