      Small Lego/ any small object

Vocabulary: measure, length, count, foot span, short, long

How to start the activity:
      Tell your child that you will trace his foot and as well as any other family member’s foot on a paper, so we can measure it.
What to do in the middle: 
      Start to place the Lego on the foot shape cut out, then start to count how many Legos he/she placed it on the cut out paper and ask questions like, “I wonder how many Legos you put on the foot? Which foot looks shorter / longer?
Extension:
      Try to challenge them if they can change the Lego to a smaller object then ask how many he/she placed and compare the difference.

How to finish the activity: 
      Give the child a 5-minute warning then clean up together.
