Dominoes - A Matching Game!

Here's a great game that is for ages 3 and up. However, I was amazed at how well my 2 1/2 year old caught on instantly and now loves playing and beating me! She concentrates so hard and is so excited when we play! It is a great way to help toddlers develop visual discrimination and matching skills.

Each piece has two pictures on either end. To play, you create a chain by placing the matching character on either end of the chain. If you don't have a piece that matches, you pick one piece until you get one that will match either end of the line.

We started playing with Dino Dominoes, but have recently found that there are all sorts of domino games with different characters on them! I have come across Thomas the Tank Engine, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Disney Princess, Disney, Dora the Explorer, Race Cars, and Hello Kitty. Some of the games come in tins which make them great for travel!
