According to Piaget's concrete operational stage, children in this age group learn best through hands-on experiences and concrete examples. Therefore, demonstrating the procedure on a teddy bear would be the most appropriate method of preparation for this child. Showing a video or giving a pamphlet to read may be too abstract for this age group, and explaining in detail may be overwhelming without a concrete example to help them understand.
