Operating Instructions

• Guide the child to match the rings to the patterns, colors, or sizes depicted on the card.

• Place the rings directly on the illuminated surface of a light table.
• Observe how the colors blend when rings overlap.
• Use the activity cards on the light table for an enhanced visual matching experience.
