Color Matching Mats & Cards

This set is very engaging, and the children love to work with it.  They will return to it for weeks, and when it resurfaces later it becomes a favorite again.

After printing, cutting and laminating, it would be wise to house all the smaller loose pieces in separate bags.  I used nicer clear zippered vinyl pouches attached with hook and loop fasteners to the back of each mat.  This way more than one child can use this work at one time.  A further extension exercise could be to give one child several colors of mats and the corresponding cards in a basket to sort.
