FREE Preschool Christmas Animals Matching Cards

This adorable Christmas printable activity is perfect for preschoolers and toddlers who love matching games!

This set includes 6 Christmas images and their matching "shadows!" There is a Christmas tree card, a Christmas penguin, a Christmas pig, a snowman, a reindeer, and a Christmas polar bear! They are all adorable!!

They're perfect for homeschool, classroom stations, or just to pull out when you're getting dinner ready or want a calm-down activity before bed!

My older preschooler loves matching games and challenges! She especially likes to try finding more matches than me, lol! Here are a few activities to try:

** Place them all face-up on a table and match them.

** Place them all face-down on a table and take turns finding matches (like a memory game).

** Time how long it takes to match them.

** Print two sets and make identical matches (instead of shadow matches). This is especially helpful for younger preschoolers and toddlers. I actually did this for my 2-year old because he loves matching, but doesn't quite understand the goal behind matching the "shadows" to their colored version!

I recommend printing on cardstock for longer use. I used to laminate cards too, but my preschoolers right now are actually more careful with cards than some I've had in the past. ;)
