This activity will prepare them for using rulers and β€œreal” measuring objects! Here Is how realtimemomaz put this activity togetherπŸ”½ This activity does not require fresh fruits and veggies! You can use ANYTHING fall food-related or tools for cooking your Thanksgiving meal. Here are some other ideas of things to measure: 🍠 Can Opener 🍠 Canned Pumpkin 🍠 Bag of Nuts or Cranberries 🍠 Turkey or ham πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 🍠 Potato Masher 🍠 A stick of butter 🍠 Stuffing box The list goes on and on of what your kids can measure! Afterward, we used our problem-solving and critical thinking skills to compare all our fall foods! Some look smaller, and some are taller than we thought! Comparing them using the mathlink cubes made it so easy to count the cubes and stack them up next to each other. I can’t say enough about the fun the boys had while doing this hands-on math activity! What other Thanksgiving/Fall foods would be fun to measure?
