We found another fun game to play with our animal cards. I selected a few cards that matched animal toys (ok, and maybe I made a few more cards). The toy goes on top of the matching card. Simple.
At first I used the big fisher price animals, but the girls are way more interested in the smaller Safari, Ltd ones. Which is fine since they are more realistic anyway. Abby just had fun swiping them all off the table and climbing through them...and eating the animals. But Alyssa figured it out. She defiantly has favorites. #1- the cat. Also special are the panda, the bunny, the elephant, and the dog.

Quick thoughts:
- Way easier when the other animals and cards are set out of sight. Too many is overwhelming and distracting. Start with just a few cards - depending on the level. Alyssa does about 8 at a time but still needs a little help focusing. I think I'll start Abby with one or two.
- Mix in the animals sounds and narrate everything. Celebrate! Alyssa loves it when she does it right- lets out a big "yay" and sometimes claps. It makes her (and me) so happy.
