Woodland Creatures Match Game Printable
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I’m a big fan of making our own games and activities for our daughter. We have some wonderful options on our devices, but there’s just nothing that beats a good-old-fashioned card game sometimes.
Though we have a Kindle Fire loaded with learning apps for our daughter, a simple match game printable turns learning into tons of fun! Today, I made this one as we’re heading for a hike in the woods and wanted to start a chat about the animals we might hear.
Ways To Play with This Free Animal Match Game
Match games can be used for so many fun activities around the house or during playdates. Here are a few ways we like to incorporate free printable games.
Holiday Kid’s Table
Are you hosting a holiday dinner or family get-together with little ones?
- Print a couple sheets of these and set it aside for the kids. Let their imaginations run wild or tell them it’s a match game.
- Take it a step further and lay out some craft sticks (Popsicle sticks) and glue. They can glue the cards onto the sticks and put on an impromptu puppet show.
Normally, I’d have a picture right here but apparently the universe was hangry and swallowed up the entire folder of a little one playing with the game, making garlands, and using them as puppets. So, I’ll just put something here for the ‘scrollers:’ here’s our little one helping to decorate for Halloween.
Story Prompts
Another favorite around here is using these as story prompts. We will make up stories about how the animals meet and play together in the forest. Someone always seems to scare the mouse away…
Skill Practice and Garlands
Scissor Skills: This is one of my daughter’s favorite activities right now. She really focuses on about 4 cards and then just starts cutting willy-nilly.
Lacing Skills: I use these cards to help my daughter practice lacing by quickly punching holes in each of the top corners and giving her a piece of baker’s twine, jute or yarn. You will have a focused little one and a little break to enjoy the silence.

I had a big batch that the Universe just swallowed up too! I hate that. The printable is super cute and Rebekah would really like that. We are much better off if we have simple and easy projects on the ready for the witching hour. Thanks for sharing! Oh and my teen Samantha loves her kindle. We are planning on getting one for the younger 2 this Christmas. Love the apps on there, although my teen just uses it to watch videos and surf the internet…. Hopefully we can get the younger two to do some learning with it!
I know the day is coming where our little one surfs the web all day. Just today she came up to me and said, “Mommy – can we look on the Amazon for some cat tights?” Wait, what? :)
