The hour before dinner

It's 5 pm. Dinner isn't started, and your 4-year-old is pulling at your sleeve.

The tree is printed and the ornaments are cut. You set them out and hand over the first card.

They copy the tree on their own while you cook. Then you hear it from the table: "I did it!" When it gets easy, a harder card is waiting.

Step 1

Print

Choose color or ink-saver, US Letter or A4. Cardstock works best.

Step 2

Cut on the dashed lines. About 15 minutes for the first game, about an hour for the whole kit.

Step 3

Play

Pick a card and copy the picture. Start with EASY, then try MEDIUM and HARD.

Why this one doesn't end up in a drawer

A lot of printables get one good morning. The cards are too easy, or too hard, and by day three they are back in the drawer. Jolly Match starts easy, so they feel proud. It gets harder, so they don't get bored. The tree goes from 3 ornaments to 5 to 8. The buttons go from 1-5 up to 10. Memory goes from 6 pairs to 12. All 5 games work the same way (look, find, match), so each new one is quick to pick up.

Before you buy

Good to know

Short answers for parents and teachers.

What if my child loses interest?

The first game has EASY, MEDIUM and HARD cards, and counting and memory can start small and grow, so you can hand over something easier or harder in a second. You can also play one card a day instead of everything at once. And if the kit isn't right for your child, you have 7 days to ask for a refund.

What is Hotmart?

Hotmart is the checkout and delivery service we use. It takes your payment and emails your download link. Your card statement may show Hotmart.

Can I use it in my classroom?

Yes. You can print as many copies as you need for your own students. Please don't share, sell or upload the files.

Can I start after December 1?

Yes. Start on today's date on the countdown, or play at your own pace.

Do I get a physical product?

No. You get a download link by email right after you pay. You print the PDFs at home, at school or at a print shop. Nothing is mailed to you.

What ages is it for?

Ages 3-6. Younger kids start with the EASY cards and the color sort. Older kids enjoy the HARD cards and the memory game.

What paper should I use?

White cardstock works best (65 to 110 lb). Regular printer paper works too. In your print settings, choose "Actual size" or "100%" so the pieces keep their size.

How long does it take to prep?

About 15 minutes to print and cut enough to start the first game: the mat, the pieces and a page of EASY cards. The whole kit takes about an hour with scissors. Cardstock is enough, and laminating is optional.

I'm low on ink. Will it use a lot?

Use the ink-saver edition. Almost everything is black and white, and the game still works. Kids can color the pieces before they play.

US Letter or A4?

You get both. Use US Letter in the US and Canada and A4 almost everywhere else.

Can my child play on their own?

Yes, once the pieces are cut and with an adult nearby. The pieces are big for small hands, but they can still be a choking hazard. Not for children under 3.
