I want to play a game of matching cards with pictures of animals on, using a set of snap cards. I will have 2-3 year olds, so thought the proper game of snap would be too difficult. I imaginge laying them all out face up, picking one, and asking them to find one the same as mine.
So I looked at the EYFS to see where this type of matching game came, i guessed PSRN.
But i cant find anything about it. Surley it is appropriate for the age, and its a mathematical concapt?
can anyone help me identify a Development Matters sentance that will cover this activity?
thanks

Development matters - PSRN (Calculating) - 16-26 months
Categorise objects according to their properties.
Next steps:
Use pictures or shapes of objects to indicate where things are kept and encourage children to work out where things belong.
&
Development matters - PSRN (Shape, Space & Measures) - 22-36 months
Begin to categorise objects according to properties such as shape or size
Next Steps:
Collect pictures that illustrate the use of shapes and patterns from a variety of cultures, for example, Arabic designs.
