Provide a variety of paper cups in several colors and different sizes. Encourage the children to play with the cups by stacking the them and pulling them apart. Notice what the children are doing and say, “You're stacking the cups high,” or “Uh oh, the cups fell.” Substitute soft plastic cups to stack.
