There are a number of items I remember from my school days that were always really fun when they came out and we were allowed to use them. They included the guillotine (paper cutter), the laminator and the measuring trundle wheel. I find it rather exciting that I can now own all these things for myself (and my children). Learning Resources have a great range of learning toys and they have provided a 5 in 1 Outdoor Measure Mate to giveaway to one of my readers. It is designed to introduce the concept of measurement to children in an outdoor setting. 

Giveaway prize: Learning Resources 5 in 1 Measure Mate

The 5 in 1 Measure Mate is a fun way to teach children about distance and the relative size of things. It can even help encourage children outside when they are feeling reluctant because you can turn a simple walk into a fun exercise.

As the name suggests the Measure Mate can measure in 5 different ways: using the measuring stick flat or upright, using the trundle wheel to measure distances, callipers to measure internal and external dimensions of objects and a spirit level to see if surfaces are level. The enclosed activity guide gives ideas on how it can be used too.

If you want to find out more you can read this review from Raising The Rings or check out the Learning Resources website.
