Children will find different objects in the classroom that are the same size as their hands, feet, and thumbs. A crayon or block is probably about the same size as their hands. A book or a small paintbrush should be around the same size as their feet. Finally, a piece of broken chalk or crayon will be close to the same size as their thumbs. There are many possibilities!
