The ability to visually tell the difference between two or more things.
Why it's important:
Visual discrimination is a foundation piece for reading and math success. In order to tell the difference of a "b" from a "d" or a "p" from a "q" or "3 dots" from "5 dots" or many geometric shapes and patterns, children need to be able to look at differences they see and sort and classify them in their minds. We can begin to teach these skills at a very young age with many of our products.
Can you put the spider on the spider and the fly on the fly? Look carefully at the details to tell which is which! How about the red bugs from the orange bugs? Similar colors require even more visual discrimination!

Sort the colors, sort the shapes, what pieces do you need to build the boat or the caterpillar? One to one matching of the shapes on simpler patterns build those visual skills leading to more advanced skills needed for the castle and other shapes.

It's a shape sorter in disguise! Is that a lemon? Well, yes, but it's a circle too! That cheese? Yep, a triangle I see! Match color pieces to color doors or, for more of a challenge, match to the squares in the top. All are red so you really have to use your visual discrimination skills to tell which is which!
