How it works

How It Works

Print: choose A4 or US Letter and print on white paper or card stock (200 gsm card works best). Optional: print a backing paper on the back of the picture cards.
Cut: cut out the picture cards along the dashed lines.
Match: place each card on its matching shadow.
Play again: laminate the pages and add velcro dots for a reusable busy book or quiet-time activity.
