Mix It Up
Mix It Up is one of the good preschool kids games, kids matching games and inside games for kids.
2 or more players
Ages: 2 - 5
Need pairs of different items, empty shoe box or storage container
Good items include crayons, pencils, coins, lids, cotton balls, bottle caps, poker chips.
Put all the items in the container and mix them up.
Let your child go through the container, pulling items out and setting them on the table or floor.
When she finds a match to an item she has laid out, she puts that item with its match.
When all items have been matched up, she can play again if she wants.
If playing with 2 children, the one to match her items up the fastest is the winner.
If playing for winners, use jelly beans, M&Ms or candy wrapped in colored papers. That way the kids can keep - and eat - these after they're done!
If you have spools of thread, they're fun and colorful for kids to play with, too.
As an added bonus with the thread, your child can learn colors, too, as she's matching up.
You can even ask her to pick two threads that are the same color but different shades. Explain to her what a "shade" means.
Then tell her to find opposite colors such as blue and green or red and orange. Ask her why she thinks these colors don't go together.
