About What Does It Need?
A plant needs water, a lock needs a key and a sailboat needs wind. Your child drags each piece from the bottom row to the thing that needs it, over three short rounds. Pieces that could fit two things never show up together, so each answer is clear.
How to play
- Look at each thing at the top and think about what it needs.
- Drag the right piece onto it, like the water drop onto the plant.
- If dragging is tricky, tap a piece and then tap its partner.
What your child practices
- What plants and animals need
- How everyday things work
- Matching pairs
- Thinking things through
