DIY Animal Matching Game

Spread the love

I’ve shared several activities that we have done with one bag of foam farm stickers and now I have one more. It seems like no matter what I do, I can’t finish off those stickers. Jesus may be blessing & multiplying my stickers… Even with this activity, the 5th activity, I still have more stickers left in the bag. And that includes the night that I let the kids have a free-for-all with them and make sticker collages.This DIY animal matching game for preschoolers is a perfect addition to the awesome learning activities we have done over the past month or so with these stickers.

Create your own animal matching game for your preschoolers! Plus lots of other great ideas for a farm theme!

Materials needed to create your own animal matching game:

Card stock

Foam farm stickers

Scissors

To create the animal matching game, draw a grid on the card stock to create 12 squares.

Place one sticker on each square. You will need two squares for each kind of sticker that you use.

I used two pieces of card stock and 12 sets of 2 stickers to create a total of 24 cards.

Shiloh is not ready to understand a traditional game of memory, but she is starting to figure out how to find matches. So, when we do a matching game, I just randomly spread the cards out on the floor face-up.

She finds cards that match and places them side by side.

You can also use these cards for a memory game if your child is ready for that.
