Let’s go step by step to measure each object using paper clips.
We’ll count how many paper clips long each object is, based on the row of paper clips shown next to or above/below it.
---
1. Spoon
Look at the spoon — it lines up with a row of paper clips above it.
Count them:
There are 9 paper clips in that row.
✔ So, the spoon =
9 paper clips
---
2. Lollipop (red candy on stick)
It has a row of paper clips above it.
Count them:
There are 7 paper clips.
✔ So, the lollipop =
7 paper clips

3. Crayon
The crayon is vertical, and there’s a column of paper clips beside it.
Count them from top to bottom:
There are 6 paper clips.
✔ So, the crayon =
6 paper clips
---
4. Paintbrush
It has a long row of paper clips above it.
Count them carefully:
There are 13 paper clips.
✔ So, the paintbrush =
13 paper clips
---
5. Pencil
Row of paper clips above it.
Count them:
There are 12 paper clips.
✔ So, the pencil =
12 paper clips
---
6. Watch (wristwatch)
Row of paper clips above it.
Count them:
There are 10 paper clips.
✔ So, the watch =
10 paper clips
