Dinosaur Bones Match and Measure Activity Cards

The Dinosaur Bones Match and Measure Activity Cards offer a vibrant, durable tool to complement the Dinosaur Bones Match and Measure Set (sold separately). These 16 PVC cards encourage children to engage with foundational maths skills such as matching, counting, ordering, and measuring in an interactive and playful manner. Designed to withstand outdoor play, including water activities, the cards invite children to use their observational skills while discovering buried bones. As each bone increases incrementally in size, the cards help children develop an understanding of measurement, size comparison, and descriptive mathematical language. This activity set enhances curiosity and encourages children to practise early numeracy skills through exciting palaeontology-themed challenges. It is an ideal resource for children aged 3 and above to build confidence and competence in measurement concepts in both indoor and outdoor learning environments.
