Children lay out the cards and place the miniature animals on the matching picture. This set is also a perfect addition to Montessori continent boxes (North American, Europe and Asia) 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.

Cards are 2.6"x 2.5" Noticing subtle attributes, such as color or shape, is a building block to reading and math. For example, when your child notices the similarities and differences in shapes, such as a square and a rectangle, they using the same skills needed to recognize the differences between letters, number and symbols.
