Obtain a set of unbreakable mixing bowls and a set of measuring cups. Place the mixing bowls in a row in clear view and reach of the baby. They should be arranged in a graduated order with the smallest one on the left. Place the smallest bowl inside the next one. Continue to nest the bowls until they are stacked according to size. Repeat this activity several times and encourage the baby to assist you. Use the words ‘large’and ‘small’as you stack and unstack the bowls. Continue doing this until the baby loses interest. Repeat this activity often and the baby will soon learn to do it independently.

At another time, use the set of unbreakable measuring cups and repeat this activity. In this way the baby will become aware of different sizes and the round shape of the objects. The child will discover this through seeing, feeling and doing.
