Show your child a ruler and invite him to share what he already knows about it. Explain that 12 inches is also called a foot<\/em> and that these units are used to see how tall a person is (also known as height<\/em>).\u00c2\u00a0Make your own growth chart. Arrange the sheets of cardboard so that the short ends are almost touching. Create a hinge between the pieces of cardboard by placing tape along the short edges, leaving a bit of space between the pieces.\u00c2\u00a0With your child, glue colorful sheets of construction paper to the cardboard pieces. Using a ruler, mark each foot. If you like, you can also mark the inches with dots.\u00c2\u00a0Invite your child to decorate the chart with stickers, stamps, drawings, or other materials. Attach the ribbon to the top of the chart to make a loop for hanging.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Learning benefits: Build math skills while you track your child’s height. \u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0construction paper \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0four pieces of 8\u00c2\u00bd” by 11″ cardboard \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0colored duct tape or fabric tape \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0stickers, stamps, or other art materials \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a012 inches of ribbon or string \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0glue \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0ruler \u00c2\u00a0 Discuss the concept of measurement.
