Help your Reception child compare size using hands, feet and other familiar objects.

Trace and Compare makes early measurement personal and visual. Draw around family members’ hands or feet, cut out the tracings and place them side by side to compare which are bigger, smaller, biggest or smallest. Children can then order the tracings by size and explain what they notice.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Compare just two tracings to begin with, then add more family members or trace everyday objects for a bigger sorting and ordering challenge.
