Weight Sorting Worksheet: Heavy vs. Light!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the pictures at the bottom of the page together and talk about each object, asking your child whether they think it would feel heavy or light if they picked it up. Have them cut out each picture carefully along the lines. Sort the pictures by deciding which box, 'Heavy' or 'Light,' each one belongs in, then glue it into place. Review the finished sorting together, asking your child to explain their reasoning for a couple of their choices.
