Grass collecting and measurement and money learning

Lawnmowing season.  I came up with a great way to keep the children busy and teach them measurement and money skills too.  They bagged up the mowed grass to be stored for the guineapigs, weighed it and recorded how much each bag weighed.  Each 100g worth 10cents.  A little incentive can really get them active and with some natural learning thrown in too.
