“Can you see the rainbow in the sky?” versus “I wonder how does the rainbow get into the sky?”
“What is this part of the elephant called? (pointing to trunk)” versus “What would you do if you had a trunk?”
“Can you see it’s raining?” versus “How does the rain get into the sky?”
“What colour is this?” versus “What does this colour make you think of?”
“What type of dinosaur is this?” versus “Do dinosaurs have friends?”
“Can you see the bird flying in the sky?” versus “What would happen if you could fly?”
“Where do fish live?” versus “What do you think would be most exciting about living underwater?”
“What will we do tomorrow?” versus “How do you think tomorrow gets here, to where we are?”
“What is that noise?” versus “What would that noise look like if we tried to draw it?”
