 To make learning about measuring interesting for a child, you can use an everyday object instead of a ruler. For example, you could use a pencil and ask the child how many pencils long is the table. You can show them how to line up the pencil with one end of the table and count how many it takes to get to the other end. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Then the child can find other things to measure. For the measuring tool, you can use any object you have available. Doing this will help the child enjoy learning about measuring.
