Do your kids love party hats? There’s just something so fun about them for little kids that makes me a little sad that most older kids and adults aren’t willing to wear them. (And yes, I do always feel really silly with them.)
{Check out N’s New Year’s Sensory Bin activity that included party hats!}
With this Party Hats Matching Game for Preschoolers, however, no one has anything to be embarrassed about 🙂 Everyone can simply enjoy a basic memory game with nine different images that’s perfect for the attention span of younger preschoolers.
