Rainbow Ribbons

Rainbow Ribbons is an activity in JumpStart Math for Kindergartners designed to teach measuring skills.

Description
Too-Loose the tailor needs help measuring ribbons to wrap birthday presents with. Too-Loose will give instructions on which measurement tool to use, and how many of that tool to use to equal the length of a ribbon. The player must then get the number of items that Too-Loose asks for, and place them by the measuring tape. The items can be placed one at a time by clicking on them in the bag, and then clicking on the measuring tape. Once the correct number of items has been placed, the player must click on the ribbon that matches the length of the items.

This activity doesn't have difficulty levels.
