Measure Your Head!

The Locks of Love organization focuses on providing hair pieces for children because most wigs sold by retailers are made to fit adult heads.

Is your head bigger than an adults? Measure your head with a tape measure. Place the end of the tape measure in the middle of your forehead, hold it in place. Wrap the tape all the way around your head until you return to the same spot. How many inches is it? Then measure the head of your parent, grandparent or other adult. Is there a big difference? Compare your findings with the rest of your class.
