How to Make the ‘y’ for yardstick

  1. Cut out a lowercase ‘y’ from a yellow foam sheet. To make the letters go along with the uppercase letters we’ve done in the past, this letter was cut from a piece of foam that was about 6” x 4”.
  2. Cut a long rectangular piece from brown foam to use as your yardstick. Our piece was almost as long as the long side of the letter ‘y’ and slightly more narrow {about 1” x 6”.
  3. Mark the yardstick with the inches. We marked 12, 24, and 36 inches and then made tick marks for the quarter and half feet.
  4. Glue the yardstick on lowercase y.
  5. Pull out a yardstick and have fun measuring things around your house!
