Thick and Thin Worksheet: Identifying Object Thickness

How to use this worksheet

Look at each box of objects together and talk about their differences before marking anything. Ask your child to point out which object looks thickest and which looks thinnest, explaining their reasoning out loud. Have them circle the thickest object in each box, then color the thinnest object as instructed, checking each choice together before moving to the next box.
