Measuring Tips

If you don’t have a measuring cup, you can estimate by visually comparing measurements with other household items.

Here are some good rules to follow:

• 2 tablespoons = Ping-pong ball
• 1 tablespoon = your whole thumb, Ice cube, a poker chip
• 1 teaspoon = The tip of your thumb, a quarter, a dice
• 1 cup = Baseball
• 1/2 cup = Lightbulb, Tennis ball
• 1/4 cup = Egg

Even if the exact measurement that you are looking for is not listed above, you can still use these as frames of reference.
