How to Play Dinosaur Matching Game for Toddler

For the youngest children, just lay the pieces out face up and let the child find matching pairs.

For older children, lay all the squares face down and take turns turning up 2 squares to try to match them.

If the squares match, you keep them and take another turn.

If they don't match, turn them face down and the next player has a turn.

Whoever has the most squares at the end of the game, wins.

Store the pieces in a sandwich size ziplock bag.
