Encourage the children to bring an outdoor natural item from home. During outdoor time, have the children try to find an item on the playground that is similar in size or weight. Provide trays, shallow bins or an outdoor sensory table with plastic cups, magnifying glasses, plastic tweezers, measuring tape and balance scales so the children can compare their item from home to the playground items. Talk to the children about the similarities and differences.
