there something else you could use?
There are many ways you can compare things. You can compare texture,
shape, color, and size.
We know that our five senses are see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Use
the five senses to compare an apple and an orange. Compare how the
apple and orange are alike and different by feeling them, smelling them,
looking at them, and tasting them. Do the fruits make noise?
