How to try it

Give your toddler two plastic cups at bath time. Fill one and say \"full\", then tip it out and say \"empty\". Let them fill and pour, and say the word that matches each time.

Materials

  • Two plastic cups

Safety note

Never leave a child alone near water. Keep the bath shallow and stay within arm's reach.
