About Heavy or Light?
An elephant or a balloon, a train or a leaf: one picture comes at a time, and your child decides if it is heavy or light. Heavy things go to the weight lifter and light ones go to the feather. A wrong box just wiggles, and your child can try again.
How to play
- Decide if the thing in the picture is heavy or light.
- Drag it down to the weight lifter or the feather, or tap one.
- Use the 1 and 2 keys or the left and right arrows on a keyboard.
What your child practices
- Heavy and light
- Comparing things by weight
- Sorting into two groups
