There are so many benefits to object and picture matching challenges! From developing pre-reading skills in preschool to first steps in learning to use an AAC device for non-verbal individuals, this kit can be used in so many ways! Object and picture matching helps make the connection that what you are holding in your hand is the same thing that is represented in the picture. This abstract thinking is important for reading, writing, language, and other thought processes.
In an educational setting, object/picture matching is great for developing vocabulary, moving the body, learning to sort and categorize, and talking about colors and shapes. Use the cards to teach sight words, play matching games, sort by colors or shapes, alphabetize, and more. The possibilities are endless!
In a sensory or therapeutic setting, this kit can be used for occupational, speech, and even physical therapies. The concrete objects can be used for numerous activities involving midline crossing, fine motor skills, cognitive workouts, visual discrimination, and more. Learning that abstract pictures represent concrete items is an important step in learning to use an AAC device.
Our kit includes 12 everyday items that are easily recognizable. The pictures on the cards are actual, real pictures of the items in the kit, so there is no confusion with different colors or varieties between the pictures on the cards and the physical items. Three sets of laminated cards are included: picture and word, picture only, and word only. A zippered pouch is included to hold all items and cards in one convenient place.
Use with supervision; not for children under 3 or those that still place items in the mouth.
Colors may vary from those in pictures. Storage bag may vary from those pictured.
