This colour matching set may be used in many different ways. Here are a few examples…
You may like to cut out and laminate the mats and separate cards to create an invitation to play for your child(ren). Children will naturally want to match the objects and colours, for example placing the blue cup card onto the corresponding blue cup on the teddy bear mat.
Play games with the children, perhaps putting things in the wrong place yourself, saying ‘Oh silly me! That’s not a green cup, it’s a red cup!’ all the while reinforcing the names of the colours.
As a cut and stick activity for individual use.
Give a specific colour mat to your child and encourage them to find the colour cards to match with the mat.

Stick them into the appropriate boxes at the top of the sheet and let your imaginations run wild!
How much input is required from an adult will depend on the child. The ideas vocalised by a child could range from simply telling you what the items in the boxes are to a fragment of an idea about what might happen with the character and the object in the setting, to a fully fledged story with a beginning, middle and end.
A child’s thoughts can be scribed by an adult or drawn/written by the child. Ideal prompt for story ideas/ writing/ mark making.
Why not use in conjunction with our ‘Lollipop Puppet Set’ or ‘Character Building Pack’?

Can you match the feeding time number on the animal card to the time on the clock?
All times are o’clock and each puzzle pair has a different way of connecting for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt to read the time yet, but are familiar with a clock face and numbers to 12, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line them up in time order? If your children would enjoy a further challenge, leave out a time and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as posters or flashcards if left uncut.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Feed the Lion’ counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number underneath the lion with the corresponding meat to feed them.
Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further challenge, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut.

Why not use this fun zoo animals and their footprints puzzle game to introduce your children to or consolidate their knowledge of zoo animals? Cut each puzzle along the line in the middle and invite your children to match each zoo animal with its footprint. Why not extend learning by discussing similarities and differences between the different footprints? Extend children’s vocabulary by describing animal body parts such as tail, hooves, paws, fur, beaks, etc. Ask questions such as ‘Which animal has the longest/shortest neck?’
