Full or Empty? 

MATERIALS:

• Variety of empty containers, jars, ice cream containers, baskets etc.
• Variety of things to fill your containers, corks, pegs, Lego, blocks etc.

STEPS:

1. Fill your containers with various items. Place some smaller empty containers beside them.
2. Ask the children to fill the small containers from the full containers and to carry them to another part of the room. 
3. Use the terms ‘empty’, ‘full’, ‘light’ and ‘heavy’.
4. Have fun with the children experimenting with different size containers and seeing how "strong" they can be!
