Pour & Measure

You need

  • Dry rice or oats
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • A tray or baking dish

Let's play

  1. Pour rice into the tray.
  2. Scoop and pour between cups — how many little cups fill the big cup?
  3. Hide small toys in the rice and dig them out.
  4. Sweep up together at the end.
Grown-up tip: Put a sheet underneath for easy clean-up. Use toys bigger than a toilet-paper tube (small ones are a choking hazard), and keep rice out of noses and ears.
