Materials:
Sheet of construction paper
Permanent marker
Variety bag of foam hearts
Directions: Make a simple, two-column chart, drawing a line down the middle of your construction paper, length-wise. Draw 7 or 8 crosswise lines, creating sorting boxes for the hearts. Select 7 or 8 matching pairs of hearts and spread them out on the table. Pick one, and see if your child can find the match. Put the matching pairs side by side on your chart. Let your child pick a heart to lay on the chart. Encourage him to look for the match, and place it on the chart. Continue in the same manner until all the heart pairs have been placed on the chart.
