Matching activities for toddlers are a great way to recognize and learn the language, math, and things in their surroundings. These activities improve cognitive skills while keeping them engaged. As toddlers love exploring their surroundings and are curious all the time, thus, this is a great time to introduce educational activities as their brains are sponges soaking up all the information.
I have compiled various matching activities into toddler-matching busy books.
