A little look inside
Dinosaurs meet everyday measurement.
Theo loves dinosaurs. A footprint becomes a reason to compare lengths, line up equal-sized blocks, and ask what else they could measure.The parent’s brief
Make a playful story for a child who loves dinosaurs and is learning to compare lengths. Theo finds dinosaur footprints and measures them with equal-sized wooden blocks placed end to end. Keep the language simple and invite us to try measuring something at home.

02
Longer or shorter?
Theo put his foot beside the print. His footprint was shorter. His new friend's footprint was longer. But how much longer?
03
Measure with blocks
Theo lined up matching blocks from one end to the other. He left no gaps. ‘Now I can compare the lengths,’ he said.
04
Try another measurement
What else could they measure? A leaf, a stick, perhaps a very long tail. Theo had a garden full of questions—and a friend to help.
