Take two identical glasses and get a child to help him fill it up with (cranberry) juice to have them both have the same amount of juice (determined by child) Take taller/thinner vessel pour juice from one of glasses into this glass (child watches experimenter) Ask child if both (original and taller glass) have same amount of juice. Child will always say there is more in the taller glass.
