I’m so sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have an excuse… and it’s a good one. Did you hear about that Carnival cruise ship that got stranded out at sea? Well, I was babysitting for my friends during the entire fiasco! What was supposed to be me watching their three wonderful kids for three days, turned into EIGHT days! We really had a great time, but I can’t say the same for their parents!

So much fun. I will be doing this with my kinder babies for sure. Our nonstandard unit of measurement will fall perfectly with our dino unit 🙂 They will love it!!! I bet your kids had a blast 🙂

I love this idea! I just did a blogpost on the dino scavenger hunt I did with my cuties, this would be such a fun additional to our unit! Did that giant foot fit in the laminator machine?! Sooo cute!

What a fantastic idea!! Did you use bulletin board paper? Thank you for sharing this idea! I can’t wait to use it when we get to measuring!

Kim, I actually used poster board to make the footprints. I got out two pieces and layered them on top of each other and then took out my yardstick to make sure the distance between the middle toe and the base of the foot would be 36 inches long. Then I drew the footprints in pencil and then went over them in a black marker. After I cut them out, I laminated them.
