Measure It


Materials:
  • Three sorting mats (cardstock)
  • Three size rulers (cardstock)
  • Various pieces of string and ribbon for measuring and sorting

How to make: 
Choose three different sized animals from clipart and print them on the corner of the sorting mats and create 3 rulers. Cut various pieces of string and ribbon into the lengths of the animal rulers.

Show your child how to measure each item. Once he/she determines how long it is (as long as the shark, dog or caterpillar), he/she then should set the piece on the corresponding mat. He/she then should set the piece on the corresponding mat. He/she should continue measuring and sorting until all the pieces are on the mats.
