Visuals for Measurement

How Many Feet in a Yard?

I taped a yardstick to the bathroom wall and the kids made grass to tape above the stick.  This represented 1 "yard".  Get it?  Yard - Grass.  We were going to add flowers and bugs but never got around to it.  Then we all three decorated 1 foot which represented the 3 feet needed to make 1 yard.

The kids and I are going to make this "Gallon Man" soon to give us a visual on how many cups are in a pints, etc.  I still don't know this myself and so this will be great for me as well.

Still working on more.  Got a few more ideas?  Anyone else got any?
