Children can learn about making choices by building on the turn taking activities you have been practicing. Today’s activity helps your child get used to the idea that choices are limited. After you take one, the other one goes away.

The activity also gives you the opportunity to model the words “big” and “little.”

Today’s activity: Hold up a small piece of cheese and say, “Little.” Then hold up a bigger piece and say, “Big.” Hold out both pieces and say, “Take one.” When you child chooses, name the size and then eat the other piece.
