Learning with the Christmas Stocking ABC Match Game

Is this a fun game to play? Absolutely.

Does it offer the perfect combination of learning and education? You bet.

This is one of those games that will have your child loving it without even truly realizing that they’re learning. It’s so simple and fun, they’ll actually ask for it time and time again.

This is why I laminate ours…because if not, we’d be printing them out more times than I care to. Using them, again and again, means that there will be little hands on them all the time so laminating them is really a great idea.

Have fun this holiday season with this Stocking Alphabet Matching Activity. It’s perfect for them to enjoy alone or fun for all to join in as well!
