Order By Size: Nesting Dolls

The Order By Size: Nesting Dolls features a fun and engaging activity centered around nesting dolls (Russian dolls) that helps young children learn to order objects by size. The activity encourages children to identify, compare, and arrange colorful nesting dolls from smallest to largest, enhancing their understanding of size differentiation and sequencing.

Features:

• Colorful nesting dolls: Includes a set of vibrant, easy-to-handle nesting dolls in various sizes.
• Size differentiation: Provides a clear visual aid to help children learn about ordering objects by size, an essential early math concept.

How to Use:

1. Preparation: Print and laminate all pages to ensure durability. Cut out the colored nesting dolls carefully. Leave the pages with the outlined dolls intact, as these will serve as the base for the activity.
2. Setup: Attach transparent velcro dots to the back of each cut-out doll and the corresponding spaces within the outlines on the intact pages.
3. Activity: Children select the cut-out dolls and place them in the correct order by size on the outlined page. This activity can be done independently or with guidance, reinforcing concepts of size and order.

Educational Benefits:

• Understanding Size Order: Teaches children to recognize and sequence objects based on size, building a foundation for early math skills.
• Visual Discrimination: Enhances children’s ability to visually compare and contrast different sizes, improving their observation skills.
• Fine Motor Development: Handling and placing the cut-out dolls helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Encourages logical thinking as children determine the correct size order of the nesting dolls.

Happy Teaching 🙂
