We decided to check out a new book this month, and stumbled upon Inch by Inch. I loved it immediately and the boys enjoyed it too!
We decided to see how many things we could find around the house that were 1in long. I made these cute little Inchworm Rulers to help us out. All 3 boys got a ruler, and then we set out to find our inch things.
Baloo found a pumpkin counter…
Royal had to try a few lego blocks before finding one that was just the right size.
And we kept going!
Once we filled up one ruler we decided to stop. 10 things was enough! The boys continued to go around measuring things with their rulers though.
Would you like your own Inchworm Rulers? You can get them here!
We had quite a bit of fun with this book and I think it’s going to be making it’s way into our permanent collection!

my son (age 7) asked what this post was all about so I explained it to him. His response was… did they find many things that weren't an inch long?
lol! Yes, we did find many many things longer and shorter than an inch 🙂
What a great way to connect to the book. I loved that you looked for things that measured an inch. It's a great way to introduce sorting and classifying along with the measuring.
I have this book on our wish list but I haven't read anything by this author yet – I'm so glad to hear you liked it and I love your ruler! I'm pinning this post!
