Matching Skill - Visual Discrimination:
This activity focuses on more advanced preschool matching. The objects are not an exact copy of the photo so children need to carefully observe details to match correctly. Children problem solve by looking at distinctive attributes that they can see on both the object and the photo. Usually, they will start by color and eliminate pictures that do not share the same color. They can also look at shapes, patterns, and details. They might ask themselves "which birds have a colored tummy?" or "which has spiky head hair?" Recognizing these little details helps a child grow their category knowledge and learn new vocabulary!

What is Included:
- 10 miniature plastic Safari LTD bird figurines. (approx 2-3" long)
