One of our prop boxes is for workers and in it we have, amongst other things, fluoro vests, hard hats, stop and go signs, tool boxes and tool belts which enable all the important gear such as …

Our children are not fussed about the actual measurements and are enjoying the measuring process, but the older children could, of course, extend this by writing down estimates first, comparisons, plans of the yard or room etc…
