Measuring Snakes – A Hands-On Introduction to Measurement
Introduce young learners to the concept of measurement with these tactile, colourful Measuring Snakes! Designed to make estimating, comparing, and measuring distances fun and engaging, this set provides a practical, hands-on approach to understanding length, size, and scaling.
Perfect for early years classrooms, nurseries, and home learning, these fabric snakes allow children to explore measurement concepts in an interactive and kinaesthetic way, helping to build mathematical vocabulary and reasoning skills.
Engaging & Practical Measurement Activities
- Compare & Order by Length – Arrange the snakes from shortest to longest and discuss differences in size.
- Estimating & Measuring Objects – Find items that are shorter, longer, or the same length as a chosen snake.
- Explore Scaling Concepts – Understand how smaller and larger units relate to each other and how measurement can be standardised.
- Encourages Discussion & Mathematical Language – Helps children develop an understanding of terms such as longer, shorter, equal, scale, and distance.
