Not just for children
My 92 year old Mom has dementia. I am doing whatever I can to help her brain stay active. I purchased two sets of these I will lay down a word from my stack and ask her to find the matching word in her stack. She is engaged and all smiles as she gets the matches right. The second thing I do with her is like down four or five words on the table and ask her to construct a simple sentence. I watch as she thinks about it then puts the words in order to make a sentence. Our visits are more productive and she gets to exercise her brain. I wish maufacturers would actually develop more tools that I could use with her as she battled this insidious illness that is touching so many of the elderly.
