I liked the aspect of measuring with worms and providing books about worms to lessen the anxiety if some of the children exhibited fear. I also loved the aspect that the children felt free to experiment and capture the water in the material to later create a mote. Wonderful imaginative play!

As a preschool assistant teacher I love how many things they can learn about and get their hands on with with exploitative lesson out in nature, such as measuring, how their world works, problem solving, and working together.

Such spontaneous measuring fun to be had.. It’s never occurred to me to do that, but we will, now!

This is great, isn’t it? I would have never thought of using a worm as a measurement tool either. How fun, and sticky!

I used simple lengths of yarn at first. Then later in the year I used ruler and they loved using them! We were measuring so many things!
