Today Hippo Blue is giving away 1 Height Chart similar to the Elephant Height Chart featured in this activity. Children will also have the opportunity to compare heights and arrange them from tallest to shortest. This measuring height activity is a great opportunity to talk about the concept of measurement and use measurement related language to describe which toy is taller or shorter or whether they are the same.
It also provides an opportunity to expose or introduce them to standard measurement tools such as a height chart showing the numbers on the grid. The aim of this measuring height activity is for children to play and have fun with the concept of measuring height using their stuffed toys.
In the beginning we use non-standard measurement in learning experiences and later introduce standard measurement. In the early years it is important to expose children to measurement concepts.
