Read the book Actual Size by Steve Jenkins. After reading the book use a large piece of chart paper and have the children come up and trace their hand. Then compare the actual size of all the hands. You could also have the children brainstorm other things they would like to know the actual size of such as a delivery truck or an elephant's trunk. Find the answer and draw it out similar to the book.
