Matching Game

This activity is good for children 4 years old and up. Of course you can buy a matching game at the toy store, but part of the fun of this activity is making it with your children!

 

Materials:

  • Clean lids from frozen juice cans
  • Stickers—you need to have doubles of each one. Use stickers of easy-to-recognize objects. Let your children help you pick them out!
Directions
  1. Take two juice lids and stick a matching sticker on each one. There you have it—the first set in your matching game!
  2. Continue until you use up all your juice lids and/or stickers.
  3. If you don’t have enough juice lids, you could pre-trace one juice lid onto cardboard or thick paper, and then cut out the circles.
