Several days before the lesson, send home empty, tiny containers, such as film canisters, with the children along with directions to fill them with things that are “tiny.” Give some examples: pennies, grains of rice and a Barbie shoe. Prepare some canisters yourself. During small group, examine the contents of each canister and talk about them. Compare them to other things that are not tiny. Brainstorm other words that mean small. Make a collage of teeny tiny things by gluing some items on paper. Print some familiar words or logos in a very small font and give the children magnifying glasses to examine the print.
