Learning Resources Measuring Worms - 72 Pieces, Ages 3+ Toddler Learning Toys, Counters for Toddlers

This will be very useful when my grandchildren start to work on adding, subtracting, lengths and fractions.

Love this product! Great sizes, easy to differentiate, can't wait to use in a sensory bin or math center!

We use these measuring worms all the time. Since Covid, we spend most of our time outside, therefore versatility is key here. These measuring worms hold up well inside the classroom as well as outside. On the playground we measured the slide, picnic table, and playhouse; in the woods we measured tree trunks, leaves, rocks and logs. We used them to demonstrate how worms help aerate the soil and help plants grow well in the garden. Definitely a great manipulative for our preschool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought these for our kindergartener who has to stay at home this year. We plan on using them for addition, subtraction, fractions and measuring. He was so incredibly excited when he saw them. We are trying to find as many fun tools to make staying home a little better.

Kind of expensive for not so many worms

The measuring worms are great for little ones to investigate a variety of math concepts-not just measuring. Sorting by color and by length are just the beginning activities that my pre-K students enjoyed. Patterns were easy to practice with the worms as well. New vocabulary (longer, longest, shorter, shortest) was introduced and practiced using the worms as well. We even hid some in a bin of shredded confetti to find during our unit on "Animals that live in the earth". As we studied different letters of the alphabet, students picked out specific lengths of worms to make the letters with. Students enjoyed manipulating the sturdy worms.
