Pros

  • Promotes independent learning through self-correction
  • High-quality, thick pieces are easy for small hands to grasp
  • Covers a wide range of numbers for long-term skill progression
  • Engaging, colorful imagery keeps children interested in the task

Cons

  • Individual pieces can be easily lost if not stored properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Match It! Counting puzzles is straightforward; simply lay the pieces out on a flat, clean surface to allow the child to scan for the correct matches. To ensure the longevity of the set, store the pieces in their original box or a dedicated sealable container after each use to prevent loss. If the pieces become dusty, wipe them gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as the cardboard core can absorb moisture and delaminate. This set is fully compatible with other games in the University Games Match It! series, allowing for mixed-skill activities as the child grows.
