It's A Match!

Here is the description from the catalog:
IT'S A MATCH! Item #2027

Two progressive levels of activities build logic, matching and critical thinking skills as children learn to identify and differentiate between items. Children can easily snap the frames into place. Once they decide what goes together, they pull down the tray to test their answer. If the frame and square are the same color, it’s a match! Match Board with sliding tray, 6 color frames, 2 spiral bound books with 24 curriculum sides. 11" x 1" x 7" (28cm x 3cm x 18cm). From 3 Years - Kindergarten

Match Board plus 4 books (Level 1-3) Develop math and reading readiness with an additional set of 2 books. Introduces basic math concepts: shapes, parts of a whole, simple addition and subtraction. Prepare a strong foundation for reading with activiites that introduce upper and lower case letter recognition, matching, patterning, and phonics. From 4 years & up

Here is what we have learned from our two children ages 2 1/2 and 5:
It's A Match allows children to match pictures, patterns, math problems etc. that go together and then gives them the ability to self correct themselves. I think we as parents don't ever want to see our kids make mistakes, even with a toy or game. We always want them to be a winner. Come on, admit it, you have to let your child "win" at a game once in a while. Our son loves playing with It's A Match. We had it available at our Grand Opening and at first I would correct him as he went along. Then I thought that it would be better to allow him to make the mistakes, show him what was wrong and have him correct the problem. When he didn't get the match right, I didn't say anything and he did just fine in finding and correcting his mistakes. Let's face it, in life we are not going to get everything right the first time. The point is to never give up and keep trying until we do. Might as well learn that lesson young!

We really enjoy this toy and it is played with in our home almost every day! We recommend it in every way and now see why it has become one of our top sellers!
