I have a container full of keys from, oh who really knows. T found them and was instantly in love. It is always the oddest things that catch their interest, isn't it? I saw an activity in our future. I stuck them on our home copier and made a copy of the keys in different positions. Then set them on the table with the key container. Sure enough, T knew just what to do. Matching the keys to their picture. He played with this game for a long time, wondering aloud, did this go to the car, did this one go to playroom door? It was a big hit. Great for matching and problem solving. I think next time I will write numbers on the keys and the pictures and turn it into a number recognition game.
what fun... now I need to start digging for old keys or buy some in a store...I bet the kids love it.. its awesome that they are so different

Hi Kathy...they really do love this activity. T keeps going back to it again and again. I haven't been able to put it away. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! All kids love keys and this is great way to use them!
ReplyDeleteWe have a set of keys that the girls use in role play but we've not tried a matching game with them - great idea. Thanks for sharing with us at the Play Acdemy. Cathy
