HAPPY KIDS' ACTIVITY
In this section you will find some printables related to our products which can help your little one to learn through play.
​
​
You can carry out the following activities:
​
1) Visual Discrimination Activities - print out two sets of identical cards, let your child match one by one. Help your little one to see subtle differences and similarities between pictures and improve attention to details. This skill of "paying attention to detail" is vital for reading, writing and other school skills.
2) Object to picture matching - match real object to their corresponding picture. This aids in language and vocabulary development, helps to explore abstraction and move from 3D object to a 2D representation.
​
3) Discuss and open up conversation around the topic presented on the activities cards.
​
And of course, we have some colouring activities which allow your child to spark their imagination.
​
Please note that the printables are intended for your personal use only. They should not be reproduced or redistributed to any other person or for any commercial purposes without permission.
