Tape Measure Day

Tape Measure Day

Today would be fun to get the tape measure out and see how tall all the family members are.

Also, since my daughter is 3 she is learning her numbers so we will go around the house measuring some of her favorite things, for example, a doll, her bike, crayons, ect, and she can practice saying her numbers and we will keep a little paper so she can write her numbers.
This is great practice without seeming like practice.

For older kids you can start teaching them the different measurements on the tape measure.

And for kids that are able to add I think this would be fun
1. Find a tallish item (example, the refrigerator)
2. Measure it half way up, if you have a freezer on the bottom model then measure to there, then another sibling can measure the top half, or the same child.
3. Then add the 2 numbers together.
4. Re-measure the whole thing and see if you came to the right number :)
