Points of Interest
Control of Error
If the last two fabric squares do not match, the child will know a mistake was made earlier.
Also, when the child takes off the blindfold, he should be able to tell by looking if all of the pairs are matched correctly.
Variations and Extensions
This activity can be made easier by using only three very different fabrics. Adding more types fabric increases the difficulty.
Material
The fabric squares should be between 4 and 5 inches across.
