Cut out several pictures from a magazine or draw several pictures that have something in common and could be put into a group together. For example, make groups of fruits or shoes or tree or furniture. Make at least three groups of pictures, with three pictures in each group, for a total of nine pictures.
Then lay out four pictures for your child to see. Three that are in the same group and one that is not. Ask your child to point to the picture that does not match. If he cannot find the one that is different, give him clues. For example, lay out three pictures of vegetable, and one tree. Say:
"Three of these you can eat, but one you cannot. Can you find the one you can't eat? It is something you can climb on."
Do the same thing with the other groups of similar pictures. Talk with your child about the pictures and how they are the same and how they are different. Your child may come up with some interesting ideas on how they are the same and different.
Your child is learning the ideas of "same" and "different.:
