Remind them to be careful with the quilt so that it does not rip or tear. Measure a Quilt - Bring two or three quilts of different sizes to circle time. Talk about how the quilts are alike and different. Be sure to talk about the size of the quilts. Now tell the children we are going to measure the quilts.
Measure means to find out how big or long something is by using a measuring unit.
Bring out a wooden block and explain that this wooden block will be our measuring unit today. Demonstrate how to measure the side of one of the quilts. Count aloud with the children as you demonstrate how to measure. Measure the other quilt the same way. Invite a child or two to help you with the measurement.
