Teaching aid "High - Low"

Make your little one the teaching aid - he/she will learn the concept of "high and low" easily and quickly!

You'll need:


  • cardboard;
  • color velvet paper of one color;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • felt pens.

Cut out of colored paper rectangles of the same width and of various lengths - they will be houses.

Take the sheet of cardboard, place it horizontally and draw at a bottom a strip of land with grass.

The glue the houses to the cardboard in the following way:


  • at first glue the lowest house - a one storey one;
  • then glue a two-storey house, etc.
  • finally, glue the highest house.

Draw the houses windows and doors with felt pens.

You can even use larhe buttons for making windows - attach they with a glue gun.

Later you'll manage to decorate the teaching aid with additional details - draw clouds, birds, trees, the sun, etc.

Sit with your baby to the table and view the picture. Comment what the little one sees, let him/her  explore it - touch the velvet paper, buttons, view details.

Explain that the first house is the lowest, the second house is higher than the first one, and the last house is the highest.

If you use buttons for making the craft, don't leave your baby alone when he/she is viewing the aid. Check the buttons when you give the picture to the baby!

Make photos of your little one viewing the houses, upload to the App. Write whether he/she liked to view the picture.
