What’s included in the box
The set contains 12 plastic farm animal figurines and 12 matching cards. Each card shows a clear, realistic photograph of an isolated animal. The cards are rounded at the corners for safety, and the figurines are sized for small hands to grasp comfortably. The entire set is protected by a plastic seal on the cards to withstand frequent use.
How the matching game supports early learning
Matching the figurine to its card helps children practice associating an object with its image and name. This activity can be used at home or in a classroom to build vocabulary, improve concentration, and encourage independent work. The realistic images and sturdy pieces make this a practical tool for Montessori-inspired environments.
Why the cards and figurines work well together
- The cards are printed on durable cardstock with a plastic coating, making them easy to clean.
- Figurines are large enough to avoid choking hazards for children over 3 years (always supervise younger children).
- The set is portable: cards and animals fit in a small bag or box for travel.
