What it practices

• Color sorting: ornaments on color mats
• Shape and shadow matching
• Counting 1–10 with number pieces
• Patterns, big and small, and sorting: toys or treats, and snowy day or sunny day clothes
• Memory and puzzles: find the same, match the gloves, a memory game and 2 four-piece puzzles
• Fine motor: placing pieces on hook-and-loop dots, with a grown-up sitting beside them

Who it’s for

• Parents and caregivers of 2 to 4 year olds, sitting with them during play
• Grown-ups who can print in color, laminate and cut before the first use
• Not for unsupervised play: small pieces are a choking hazard

Printing

• Print at “Actual size / 100%” in your print dialog.
• US Letter and A4 files are both included. Use the one that matches your paper.
• Use cardstock (180–250 gsm / 65–90 lb cover), then laminate. A grown-up cuts out the pieces.
• Print in color. There is no black-and-white file, and grayscale is not a good fit here because the color sort depends on color.
