This game helps to build concentration and visual memory skills as your child will have to form and retain a visual picture of what you looked like before you made the change. Well developed visual memory skills will be beneficial to your child when it comes to learning to read and write.

How to play:
- Get a selection of different objects from around the home (from toys to kitchen utensils) and place them on a table.
- Get your child to take a look at what they can see – encourage them to pick them up and talk about them, then cover them all over with a tea towel or cloth.
- Ask your child to look away whilst you remove one of the items, then take away the cloth and ask them to tell you what’s missing.
