Review: Great birthday gift or stocking stuffer - Such a good birthday gift or stocking stuffer. My 2 year old loves playing with this and winding up the tape-plus he likes looking at the numbers! Review: Good but. Safe, flexible, realistic, durable. - I like this toy for our toddler! I tried to take photos that I was looking for and didn’t see you when I was shopping, just hoping it helps other parents. I’m trying to show the flexibility and the materials of the tape measure, (flexible, soft, safe), as well as the accuracy of the measurements. When you pull it all the way out as you’ll see in the picture, the measurements end and it stays no matter how far you pull it out. To roll it up you must manually turn the crank knob. I took a photo of the measurements held up against a friskers ruler that I have, and as I hope the picture shows, the measurements are pretty accurate. Overall, they’re very accurate, with the exception of the 1st inch. Depending on where the rigid plastic is attached to the tape it’s self, it might be a little bit short like minus. Still, I like this toy because it safe, creative, durable, and educational. Were using it to help a toddler role-play and play pretend Carpenter, and to learn about measurements.gI took a photo of the measurements held up against a friskers ruler that I have, and as I hope the picture shows, the measurements are pretty accurate.

AND, it is much safer. I've cut a finger on a real tape measure before and it hurts, plus it usually bleeds. Some of them will recoil unexpectedly. I bought this for a 4 yr. old, not a 10 yr. old. An older child can probably handle a real tape measure, but then again, I wouldn't trust some of them with one. **Q: does it have the words "ft" or "feet" to show measurement in feet?** A: It reads "ONE FOOT, TWO FEET, ONE YARD, and ONE METER" at the corresponding measurement. **Q: How is the tape retracted?** A: It has a handle on the other side so your child and wheel it back in like a fishing rod. **Q: Does the tape measure make a "clicking" noise while being retracted?** A: Yes a mild noise being pulled out and retracting.. kids seem to like the clicks noise… ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great birthday gift or stocking stuffer *by A***X on June 24, 2026* Such a good birthday gift or stocking stuffer.

We've had it for a few months now and it's held up wonderfully. My children haven't had any trouble reeling the tape back in - just thought I'd mention that since other reviewers mentioned it had been an issue for them. It is nice and safe, unlike a real measuring tape which was my biggest desire. It's a lot of fun to use. It's not super long, which can be frustrating for the kids at times and does limit it's abilities. Despite it's short length I think it's fabulous. It gets played with constantly at our house for actual measuring and just laying out toys along it or pretending to be handy like Daddy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources Pretend Play 3" Long Tape Measure - Ages 3+ Kids Measuring Tape, Measuring Tape Retractable, Educational Toys for Kids - Educational Insights GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars - Binoculars for Kids Ages 3+, STEM and Outdoor Toys for Toddlers, Gifts for Toddlers, Stocking Stuffers for Kids - Flybar My First Foam Pogo Jumper for Kids Fun and Safe Pogo Stick for Toddlers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1142317-pretend-play-3-long-tape-measure-kids-construction-toys-preschool](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1142317-pretend-play-3-long-tape-measure-kids-construction-toys-preschool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
