Instructions
1. Cut out two heart shapes from each pattern of wallpaper (make at least 20 hearts in 10 different patterns).
2. On the back, label each heart pair with a numeral and the corresponding number of dots. For example, write a 5 on one heart in the pair and draw five dots on the matching heart. Store the hearts in a manila envelope.
3. Encourage the children to match the pairs based on the numerals and the dots. When they have found a pair, have them turn the hearts over to see if the patterns match.
4. Children can play individually or with partners.
