hi - your infant may well be a sprint youthful for this, yet we began it with my son at approximately 19/20 months and he caught on appropriate away and enjoyed it! We made our very own matching game out of the unfastened Disney paint swatches from Lowes. they are only little cardboard enjoying cards with colored Mickey Mouse heads on them, and that they arrive in all the commonplace colours. only grab 2 of each shade - lay a million of each down on the floor and have your infant tournament the coloured enjoying cards.
