About this resource
The three boards pair cats with dogs, hens with horses, and pigs with cows. Pupils identify the animal category even when the pictures are not identical. Introduce one pair of categories, name the animals together, and then let pupils place the cut-out cards; the laminate-and-velcro directions support repeated practice.
