Matching Skill - 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. Children problem solve by looking at distinctive attributes that they can see on both the object and the photo. Usually, they will start by color and eliminate pictures that do not share the same color. They can also look at shapes, patterns, and details. They might ask themselves "what flower is pink?" or "which flower has multiple buds?". Most likely they will notice more than one pink flower and have to look at another attribute. Recognizing these little details helps a child grow their category knowledge and learn new vocabulary!
