Order objects by length from shortest to longest in this educational worksheet.

Let’s go step by step to order each group of objects from shortest (1) to longest (3).

Group 1: Caterpillars

Look at the three caterpillars on the top left.

- The middle one is clearly the shortest → that’s 1
- The bottom one is a bit longer than the middle, but shorter than the top → that’s 2
- The top one is the longest → that’s 3

So for caterpillars:
Top box: 3
Middle box: 1
Bottom box: 2

Group 2: Trains

Now look at the trains on the top right.

- The top train (red engine only) is shortest → 1
- The bottom train (blue cars + red engine) is medium length → 2
- The middle train (green engine + 3 colorful cars) is longest → 3

So for trains:
Top box: 1
Middle box: 3
Bottom box: 2

Group 3: Ropes

Look at the ropes on the bottom left.

- The top rope is shortest → 1
- The bottom rope is medium → 2
- The middle rope is longest → 3

So for ropes:
Top box: 1
Middle box: 3
Bottom box: 2

Group 4: Paintbrushes

Look at the paintbrushes on the bottom right.

- The middle brush is shortest → 1
- The top brush is medium → 2
- The bottom brush is longest → 3

So for paintbrushes:
Top box: 2
Middle box: 1
Bottom box: 3

Final Answer:

Caterpillars (top to bottom): 3, 1, 2
Trains (top to bottom): 1, 3, 2
Ropes (top to bottom): 1, 3, 2
Paintbrushes (top to bottom): 2, 1, 3
