At school my second graders made rice babies as a fun way to learn measurement. The students brought in some baby information about themselves from birth. We then had them measure rice, cups by cups to equal their pounds and ounces and birth. They then had to measure out their length and weight at birth and now. We had so much fun with this project.
Well everyday Nick would come into my classroom and just play with these cute little rice babies. He of course begged that we make one together. So I got out the food scale and measured out rice to equal 6 pounds 12 ounces. He dressed the baby and has just had so much fun with it. We have really working on daddy for a real baby. I think that daddy would rather just have a rice baby to worry about. They are cheap, they are quiet, and if they are bad you can make them into a casserole.
