We'll have to do more of this type of game to help him learn more characters. This was still a good game for Aaron (3 1/2) and together with the other memory games we played, he learned four characters that he didn't know when we started in about 10 minutes. Andrew doesn't know any characters yet and couldn't figure out which ones were the same, so Aaron had to help him with those. He could easily match all of the pictures on his own and a couple of English words like cat and dog that he can read without difficulty. I think the actual memory game part of the others is still a little too hard for him at this point, but matching is fairly easy. This one was a lot better for Andrew (2) than the other versions we tried. You could print these on regular paper and tape them onto cardboard like I did here, or you could simply print all of the sheets you want on cardstock that is thick and colorful enough that you could see through the backs. Just choose which items you want to match (pictures to pictures, pictures to characters, pictures to everything, etc.) and print off the sheets you want. Or you can have one complete set across the top and try to match all other depictions of the same animal, like a picture row across the top with all other forms of words to sort and match to the right picture mixed up below. You can do this with just the same pairs, like pictures and pictures, or different pairs, like pictures and words. Have a straight line at the top or bottom of cards that the child is supposed to find the other match too. I feel very proud as J created the game himself – we haven’t done any matching games with him as he hasn’t had the patience before to play them but creating his own game he’s very eager to play.Instead of playing this like a traditional memory game where you turn the card face down, leave all of the cards face up. With T we played it “Mummy has a horse can you find a horse” and I would show her the horse and she would then try to hunt for the horse among the cards. *you will notice on some of the cards I have the same name for the baby animal as the adult as we haven’t got around to the name for those specific baby animal names yet*. and then to find the baby animal, foal, lamb, puppy etc…. With J I asked him to find the mummy horse, sheep, dog etc…. ![]() We moved away from the table and set up by cards on the floor. He was very proud of his animal cards and asked me to write the animals names on the cards – he then “wrote” over a few with his crayons as he wanted to be like Mummy. Onto each card that I had cut J stuck a single animal. J and I then peeled off the backs of the stickers – he did really well peeling off a few of the stickers but then found it a bit too much of a challenge and handed me each one after telling me what the animal was and the noise it made with “Mummy take off back please”. I started by cutting a couple of pieces of card into small sections (it was very spur of the moment so some of the cards aren’t the same size as others). How we made the where’s my mummy farm animal matching game J practiced his fine motor skills peeling off the back of stickers If you are using pictures you will need some glue What you need to make the where’s my mummy gameĪnimal pictures of a mummy animal and a baby – we used foam stickers Using that he said we could find the mummy and thinking on my feet we cut up some card and had fun sticking the animals on and then we played Where’s my mummy with J and T. He noticed when we were sorting out the stickers for the farm picture that we made that there were 2 different sizes of animal stickers – a mummy and a baby animal. In yesterday’s 30 days to hands on play post about stickers I let on that J had created his own game – this is the first time he has done anything like this and it’s such a proud mummy moment. ![]()
