An UNlikely Travel "TOY" ?!

"Measure" away your travel day with this 5' (60 inches, 150cm) tape measure from Toysmith. The perfect tool to learn units, numbers, metric system. Kids will have fun measuring anything around them. SO many games to make up with a tape measure (and, perfect size for a knitting bag or purse!)

A few suggestions

• first of all, ANYTHING (well, less than 60 inches, with this tape) can be measured. Wherever you go, there's always SOMETHING! this is the most basic, yet widest-reaching game
• how long is his/her hand (foot, shoe, hair)?, Mom's? Dad's? Siblings?
  
• use to count by 2s, 10s etc..
• use to teach fractions of units
• use to teach conversion from English to Metric units

This simple measuring tape locks when pulled out, retracts at push of a button, fits in a pocket, carryon or purse.

And, if the child grows tired of it, it's perfect for the tool box, knitting bag or sewing set!
