wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I am looking for something to buy for ds that will help him with cups, pints, quarts and gallons. I want color coded cups, pints, quarts and gallons so he can fill them with water and pour them into each other so he can see that 2 cups equal 1 pint, 2 pints equal 1 quart and 4 quarts equal 1 gallon, kwim? I can't find what I am looking for on Rainbow Resource's website though. It doesn't have to be color coded but if it were that would be a plus for him! Is there such a thing? ETA: OR-- do you know of any stores that would have something similar in the baking section? I live VERY rurally and we have a nothing in our town (didn't expect there to be anything though) Thanks!

PeterPan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just as a side note, I don't think I ever really learned all those conversions till I got married and started making homemade ice cream regularly. :D Did you see the colored measuring cups and spoons by Farberware? Amazon has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've never seen a kit or anything pre made like you are describing. If you are willing to assemble your own it, you can order from Dollar Tree. Maybe some measuring cups, spoons, etc. and some disposable plastic leftover containers of various sizes would get you what you need.

itsheresomewhere Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Discovery Toys has a set of measuring cups that is color coded. Ours is a few years old and has the cup size and ounces on it. They are very sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlylocks Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Hmmm....we had a foam puzzle (think Lauri) that had all the equivalent measures. Let me poke around and see if I can find it anywhere... ETA: http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Kit-Foam-Puzzle-Kitchen-Measurements/dp/B00371YJ2Y (this is it...) ETA #2: Google "foam puzzle" "kitchen measurements"...I found it on eBay as well Edited September 6, 2012 by curlylocks added link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
