Well, honey, a yard long is about 36 inches, so we're talking a standard yardstick, a three-foot snake, or even a really ambitious toddler trying to measure up to the big kids. Just remember, a yard long is like a mini marathon for ants but just a short stroll for a giraffe.

Oh, isn't that just delightful? A yard is about the same as three feet, so imagine a ruler or a baseball bat - they're both roughly a yard long.
