Learning to Match
This skill focuses on your child’s ability to find items that are the same. At first they may match two things that are red. As they become more skilled, they’ll match two apples that are red. And then two different fruits that are both red.
Learning to Sort
Your child has been learning to identify items by color, shape, and size. Then they learned how to match objects that were similar. Now it’s time to put that knowledge to the test. Children can now practice their abilities by sorting objects in different ways using their attributes.
