toys - matching ws for kids
This is a very simple ws for smaller kids to match toys and their words. The words are all caps, because preschoolers and 1st graders are more comfortable with these. I use it as a ws, but also as a class poster. I sometimes give them colourful wss as a special reward, but it�s editable so you can print it in b&w if you want to.
