What age did your child learn to match things? Such as animals to animal cards...

Question

I seen online a mother laying out a few cards with animals on it and then gave her daughter animal figurines to match and the little girl did it correctly!!! I was amazed. 
I did it with my child and she didn’t did it correctly at all and in the beginning didn’t even understand what to do.
What age did your child grasp this? I’m worried my daughter is behind

Answer

We work with our children on these types of things several times a week. So for basic things around 18 months. My 4 year old is now able to match a little more difficult things such as 10 with the written form ten. An image of a cow, with the word cow.

Answer

Matching is a skill that is worked on in kindergarten. Matching identical things, grouping similar things that are part of their every day life, etc. Start with things like colors. If you have 10 balls/blocks/cut outs. Have her find the red ones.
