Measuring and Marking

The first experiences of children in working with tools are all about looking and touching. Their natural instinct is to practice by comparing and reorganizing how big or small and long or short things are. This way, they learn to understand the world around them. Length is the most tangible dimension for kids: how tall am I? How big are my feet? Their next step is to measure existing objects, like a table, and taking measurements to saw a board. This way, they can learn the difference between 1 centimeter and 1 meter in a playful way. The ruler will make the difference between straight and curved.
