Why is this sheet for ages 3–4?

Cutting makes sense when the piece is for something. Here it gets glued in a place the child has to choose.

  • Cutting out a square = four straight cuts and four corners.
  • Gluing is its own skill: a little glue, in the middle.
  • The child picks the pairs, not the sheet.

💬 Tip for parents

Cut out all four pictures first and glue afterwards – swapping between scissors and glue breaks a child's focus. A glue stick is tidier than liquid glue. Ask the child to say out loud why each pair belongs together.
