Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper and two large child-appropriate crayons in different colors.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a grid with three rows and three columns. One player chooses a leaf mark and the other a flower mark.
- Take turns drawing one chosen mark in an empty space.
- The first player with three marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins. If all spaces fill first, call it a draw and play again if you wish.
Adult stays beside the child and helps draw the grid if needed.
