The problem
A child sees the picture but not the outline
Matching a picture to its shadow trains the eye to notice shape and edge, which later helps with letters.
Looking at outlines
Children focus on color and detail, and forget that shape is how things are told apart.
Cut and match
Cutting out and gluing builds fine motor skills.
Close shapes
Two animals with similar outlines need a careful look.
Cut and match mats: children match each picture to its shadow, looking at shape rather than color.

Questions
Before you buy.
Do children have to cut?
Cutting is part of the activity, but you can pre-cut the pieces for younger children.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 50 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are full color. They also print fine in grayscale on a black and white printer.
Do I need to cut anything?
Yes, for the cards, mats and pieces. Laminating them makes them last longer.
