Using your Sharpie write letters, numbers, words or shapes your child is focusing on learning on the all purpose labels.

Stick one label on the back side of the mini candy bars.

Make sure you make two of every letter, word, or number or shape you are using and stick it on the back of each mini candy bar.

Game Play

Mix up all the candy bars and place them in front of your child. Then have her pick up one and look at the back. She will then pick up another one and if it matches she removes both from the play area. If the two mini candy bars do not match then she places both back down and tries again. You can play with one or two people.

Get creative and think of variations of your own. You may reward your child with one candy bar if she wins!
