SORT & MATCH:Sort the pieces into groups: Hooves, tails, dog jackets, etc. Find matching patterns or colors on different pieces, then use those pieces to dress the horse and the dog in coordinating outfits!
	
	
	
PATTERN POWER:Set a timer and see how quickly you can find all the pieces with stars! Try to beat the record while searching for more patterns, like pieces with sparkles, flowers, or checkers.
	
	
	
MAGICAL TALES: Give the horse and dog names and use the dress-up pieces to inspire stories about their adventures. Perhaps a fairy turns the horse into a unicorn or the dog learns to balance the apple on its head!
	
	
	
TRACE & COLOR: Trace the pieces on a piece of paper and color them in. Cut out the pieces and use tape to temporarily affix the new outfits to the existing pieces to dress the horse and dog for a special horse show!
	
 
About Melissa & Doug
Our mission is to provide a launch pad to ignite imagination and a sense of wonder in all children so they can discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.
 
There was a time not so long ago when childhood offered the space and freedom for children to explore their world. To be curious. To be creative. To be bold. To be bored. To just . . . be. Today, our overstimulated and overscheduled children are using their imaginations less than ever. It’s a crisis in the making. And it’s why we’re committed to making products that inspire creative thinking and encourage kids to see new possibilities. It’s also why the American Academy of Pediatrics chose to join forces with us to champion the health benefits of open-ended play.
 
We make toys and other products that offer Countless Ways To Play. We believe the best playthings are often simple concepts that inspire children to come up with their own twists. With everything we create, we hope to encourage:
	
Free Play
	
Creativity
	
Imagination
