Measuring


Provide young child with opportunities to feel and handle items of different size and weight such as: an apple, cans, toys, rocks, or marbles. Compare the items and talk about which one is bigger? Which one is heavier?


Fun activities to do with children

  • Make instant pudding. Have the child do the measuring.
  • Have a child help you bake, either from a mix or scratch, a cake, muffins, pancakes, or cookies are some favorites. Ask the child to do the measuring.
