In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, and shorter.

Encourage your child to compare and contrast a wide variety of autumn-themed items by weighing various objects and recording their findings.

Introduce the idea of measuring weight to your preschooler or kindergartener by making a fun and easy-to-use bungee scale to weigh household objects.

This measurement activity uses feet to compare objects, but not the ones found on rulers and measuring sticks...the feet on your child's own body!

Challenge your preschooler to a game of shape match-up--an entertaining way to boost her observational ability.

Invite your kindergartener to explore the bright new world of measurement by starting out with nonstandard (and tasty!) units, such as gummy bears or worms.

Help your preschooler grasp the concept of ordering and sequence while teaching him valuable vocabulary with simple activities around the house.

Try this fun garden graphing project with your kindergartener this summer to give him a leg up in math and science while spending some valuable time outdoors!

Your child can create his own texture tree, experimenting with design during the process. The result will be a beautiful addition to your holiday decorations

This very physical game gets math off the page and into the real world-- and it works on number sense and estimation, key skills for kindergarten readiness.

The garden is the perfect place to practice math and science with preschoolers. Get digging (and counting, sorting, observing at the same time!)
