Read Toys Galore by Peter Stein. This rhyming picture book describes an amazing toy chest that contains a seemingly endless supply of toys. After reading, ask the children to draw a picture of a toy box that can hold one toy. Then ask them to draw a picture of a box that can hold lots of toys. Encourage them to draw the toys too. Compare the drawings. Ask the children to explain. “Tell me about your boxes. What toy will go in this box? How many toys will go in this one? Why is this box bigger?” This can be done in small group.
