Kent was 20 months old. I spent a lot more time planning Brown week and it paid off. There was a bit of frustration on my part when he didn’t want to do some of the activities but I adjusted and we had fun. We did the matching cards a couple times. This was our first time using them so he didn’t quite “get it” enough to find both parts. Instead, I laid them all out, already matched, and had him pick out the animals by name and then pick up both parts and put them in the pocket.
