Introduce the idea of measuring weight to your preschooler or kindergartener by making a fun and easy-to-use bungee scale to weigh household objects.

In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, and shorter.

Encourage your child to compare and contrast a wide variety of autumn-themed items by weighing various objects and recording their findings.

This measurement activity uses feet to compare objects, but not the ones found on rulers and measuring sticks...the feet on your child's own body!

Invite your kindergartener to explore the bright new world of measurement by starting out with nonstandard (and tasty!) units, such as gummy bears or worms.

This very physical game gets math off the page and into the real world-- and it works on number sense and estimation, key skills for kindergarten readiness.
