What your child learns

  • Comparing longer and shorter with pencils, snakes and ribbons
  • Comparing taller and shorter with giraffes, pine trees and towers
  • How a balance scale works: the heavier side goes down
  • Putting three things in order, from shortest to longest or shortest to tallest

How to play

  1. Listen to the question, such as "Which one is longer?", then tap the right one.
  2. On the balance scale, tap each thing to put it on a pan, watch the scale tip, then pick the heavier side.
  3. In order questions, tap from the smallest one up; each right tap shows a number.

For parents

  • Keep comparing in everyday life: "Spoon or chopstick, which is longer?", "Who is taller, you or Dad?".
  • Higher levels show a big but light balloon next to a small but heavy rock: remind your child to watch the scale, not the size.
  • It gets harder on its own: closer sizes, opposite questions (shorter, lighter) and putting three things in order.
