A push moves a toy away, and a pull brings a toy close! 🧸🔍 What to Notice
- Look at the two happy faces!
- 🌟 The yellow face is pushing a blue block away with a red arrow — that means PUSH away 💨!
- The purple face is pulling a green block close with a red arrow — that means PULL close 🤲!
- Pushing sends things far, and pulling brings things near!
Talk About It

You have a toy car. 🚗 You want it to go FAR away. Do you push or pull?
✗Thinking push and pull are the same. 🤔
Push sends things AWAY 💨, but pull brings things CLOSE 🤲. They are opposites!
✗Pulling a wagon but calling it a push. 🛒
