A while ago I had seen a great matching game on Irresistible Ideas for Play Based Learning. It used everyday objects and traced them on to card stock. How easy! Since the kids are so interested in everything animals, I gathered up 6 and traced away.
To keep it appropriately challenging, I also wrote the names of the animals on cards to match to the shape and then just the starting letter of each animal name. Everyone was able to play with it at their own level and was still interested.
Levi took it one step further. He asked for play dough to make the animal tracks.
After he had made all of the animals' tracks in the dough, he asked me if I could match them up. How's that for full-circle?
