Read Together
Big/Little Size Book
Two-year-olds can use size words, like big/little or short/tall.
Try to use books that show mother animals with their babies,
or books with pictures of large and small familiar things. For
example Where’s My Teddy? by Jez Alborough. Big and little
pictures also make a good flannel board game.
