We have been working on measurement using household items (like her snacks) as the measurement tools, but have not tired estimation yet. <br /><br />marlasmotherhoodmusings@blogspot.comMarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952679420668455582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-60646099686203900592011-11-05T00:19:03.236-04:002011-11-05T00:19:03.236-04:00Great idea!!

He'd rather just count as well!<br />I really love the idea of giving them a feel for the amount before you ask them to guess!
