When your child can pour without spilling
Get all the mugs and cups out and ask your child to find which one holds the most, so that a special person can have a really big cup of coffee. Get all the glasses out and ask your child to find which ones hold the most, and the least, so you’ll know next time you’re having juice or pop.

If you’re interested in baking
Get a set of measuring cups and ask some questions, like these: How many halves in a whole cup? How many quarters? How many thirds? Which is bigger: a quarter or a half? Later, ask your child to help you double a recipe for a crowd, or cut a recipe in half.
