Give the baby the big hat. What happens? • Real clothes: Sort real hats and gloves by size. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Make comparisons between objects relating to size, length, weight and capacity. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Compare quantities using language: ‘more than’, ‘fewer than’. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas.
