Vegetables Matching Cards in a child's hands
Sixteen photographs making thirty two cards of common vegetables, each isolated on a white background. Vegetables are the matching set a child can check against reality the same afternoon: the card says leek, the kitchen has a leek, and the two can be put side by side. Red and blue borders let the halves be sorted back into piles unaided, and no vocabulary is printed, so a pre reader is not distracted by words. The three part nomenclature is sold separately. Durable plastic, pre cut with rounded corners, for ages 3 to 6.

Children develop keen observation skills by identifying identical vegetables despite different colored borders.
