Help your pre-schooler explore length through simple, hands-on play.

Playdough Worms is a playful activity that helps children explore and compare length by rolling playdough into worms of different sizes. As they place their worms side by side, compare them and arrange them from shortest to longest, they’ll begin to understand and use language such as longer, shorter, longest and shortest while developing their early measuring skills.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. All you need is some playdough to get started, making this an easy activity to return to again and again.
