Measuring Weight We've been comparing objects to see which is heavier. Find opportunities to ask your child about the weight of different objects. For example, “What do you think is heavier, the milk carton or the cereal box? Why do you think so?” Encourage your child to hold one item in each hand to feel which weighs more.
