What's Wrong?

Your toddler is still figuring out how the world works when you introduce a game of What’s Wrong? See if she can figure out what’s so silly about this game—and how to fix it!
Materials

* Picture book
* Sock and shoe
* Toothbrush and toothpaste
* Bowl and water
* Cracker and peanut butter

Instructions

* Collect the items above, or other items that can be turned around, upside down, or made to look different than usual in any other way.
* Hold your toddler in your lap. Hold a picture book upside down and begin to read. See if your toddler can figure out that the book is wrong and fix it.
* Put a shoe on your toddler’s foot, then put on the sock. See if your toddler notices what’s wrong and tries to fix it.
* Put toothpaste on the back of the toothbrush instead of on the bristles. See if your toddler can figure out what’s wrong and what to do about it.
* Pour some water into a bowl and tell your toddler you brought her a drink. See if she notices the silly container and asks for a glass.
* Spread peanut butter on a cracker and set it upside down on a plate. See if your toddler turns it right-side up!

Safety

Be sure your toddler can’t get hurt doing these silly tasks.
