    This Easter matching game printable is an easy, low-prep activity for kids! Use it as a matching game for toddlers or flip it over for an Easter memory game for your older kids.

    I started making printable matching games because my daughter loves them. She gets so excited whenever she sees a "new game" and can't wait to see what images are on it!

    Today I'm sharing a set of printable Easter matching cards. Actually, there are two sets of Easter matching printables - one with a variety of Easter images and a more difficult Easter egg matching game for older kids! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

    Two printable Easter matching games. One has 10 different cartoon Easter images and the other has 10 different styles of Easter egg to match.

    You don't need much to make your own Easter memory or matching game! Here's what you'll need:

    • Your Easter matching cards printables (see below!)
    • Paper or cardstock. I recommend presentation paper.
    • Printer access. You can print these at home or take them to a copy shop.
    • Laminator. Optional but highly recommended!
    • Scissors or a paper cutter

    I always print my matching cards on presentation paper, a type of heavyweight paper with a special coating for crisp, vibrant images. I also laminate the matching cards or else they'd be destroyed in a hurry!

    If you don't have a laminator, you can "laminate" the cards with clear packing tape on the front and back. It's definitely not the same, but it's better than nothing!

    To use your matching game:

    Print the cards, laminate, then cut them out! Easy, peasy.

    You can play with the cards face up as a matching game for toddlers or preschoolers.

    Older children can play memory with the cards by placing them face down. You can also remove pairs from the set to make the memory game easier for younger children. My two year old can play memory with three or four sets of cards if she has adult help.

    These matching cards also make a great, no-candy Easter basket gift idea!
