Mouse Measuring

Print the mice out (above) on cardstock and cut them out. If they have a tail, be sure to CUT IT OFF!. Laminate the mice (actually I double laminated mine). Poke a small hole in each mouse and tie various lengths of yarn onto them for tails. To use this center, children use non-standard measurement tools (inch tiles, connecting cubes, etc) to measure the length of each mouse's tail. Mouse Measuring is one task on the link, have to scroll towards the bottom to find it.
