Early childhood development is essential in a child’s education.  Matching items/objects helps to develop their logic and helps them learn how to make connections as well.  It also helps children to develop the desire to learn and builds a solid foundation for success.  Early childhood development sets children on a clear path for success in kindergarten and beyond.

Our Easter Games are filled with fluffy bunnies, cute chicks, brightly colored eggs, and chocolate eggs.  But, lets not leave out the carrots for Easter Bunny.  Our matching game is sure to grab the attention of any preschooler.  However, our Word Search and Unscramble games will challenge the older children.  Furthermore, I hope your Easter includes lots of colored eggs, cookies, and chocolate bunnies.
