Good Measure

Make an outline of your child's foot on a piece of cardboard. Cut it out, and let her measure things. How many "feet" long is her dresser? Or give her a tape measure and ask her to find two things in the house that are the same length, or to figure out which is longer, the couch or her bed. Extension: why do we need a standard unit of measurement?

Tall Total

How many stories high is your family? Add everyone's height (younger kids can use feet without inches), including grandparents and cousins if you want. Then calculate how tall your "family building" would be (figure ten feet for each floor).
