Measure Up! Cups


I want to take minute to highlight another one of my favorite toys...

Measure UP! Cups are one of my favorites, because they are incredibly versitile and can do WAY more than I would have ever thought!

These little nesting cups, 12 in all, come as three sets of four different bright colors. Each cup as a printed number, as well as "dot" stickers associated with each number, a play dough stamp, and are volumetrically correct (cup #1 filled with water, when added twice to#2 fits perfectly!).

For those teachers out there, these are an OBVIOUS tool to use for teaching colors, patterning, size differentiation, stacking and so on.

Aside from these uses, the toy guide (a FABULOUS tool that comes with every DT) gives you about 15 other ways these little beauties can be used, including: multiplication/division, volume comparison, addition/subraction, gross motor development, etc!

Who would have thought that toy that I used for the tub has so much potential! In the right hands, every toy can become a learning tool!


As one of our lowest regularly priced toys ($10.99), Measure UP! Cups make a GREAT baby or toddler gift. They truly grow with the child, and are so much fun to stack, nest, line up according to size, chew on, and pour from!
