Look at the paper together and talk about why some things belong in a particular group. &#8220;These are both animals, but this is a toy.&#8221; Discuss the similarities and differences among the items.\u00c2\u00a0Cut out at least 5 items in each category you and your child identified. Work together to glue the pictures to index cards or squares of construction paper.\u00c2\u00a0Play a game by mixing up the cards and then placing them face down in a pile. Pick a category to look for and then take turns picking a card. When you pick a card whose picture fits the category, you can call out &#8220;animals!&#8221; or &#8220;clothes!&#8221; Whoever picks the card can keep it in his or her pile. When you&#8217;ve gone through the cards, the player with the most cards wins and gets to choose the next category to search for.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;\">Learning benefits:<span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0boosts visual discrimination<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0builds awareness of likenesses and differences<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0promotes eye-hand coordination <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use wrapping paper or magazines to make your own matching game cards. \u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0wrapping paper with various classifications of pictures (or, use pictures cut from magazines) \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0index cards or construction paper squares of the same color \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0scissors \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0glue \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0plastic zip-up bags to store game cards Select wrapping paper that shows items that fall into different [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,62,64,15,12],"tags":[162,410,94],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=793"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2967,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793\/revisions\/2967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
