Tatreez is a form of traditional embroidery practiced across various Middle Eastern and North African cultures, particularly prominent in Palestinian and Jordanian communities. This art form involves intricate stitching using colorful threads to create geometric patterns and motifs.
At Zeki Learning, each product is lovingly handcrafted by skilled mothers and women artisans in the West Bank.

Every purchase not only nurtures children’s learning but also uplifts artisans, enabling them to provide for their families while preserving their cultural heritage.
Activate your child’s mind with the Animal Habitat Matching Game. This game includes 9 animal pieces and 9 corresponding habitat images. Your child will recognize and identify real world concepts, and have fun while doing it!
The Animal Habitat Matching Game provides numerous benefits for toddlers’ and preschoolers’ development. Matching games mimic the action of comparing the shapes and sounds of each letter. Through visually comparing images, children will strengthen their pre-reading skills. Math skills will develop through counting, sorting and measuring, and comparing and contrasting. Encourage play with friends to learn about relational concepts, like sharing. This set was designed with a portable carrying case so the fun can go anywhere!
The Animal Habitat Matching Game is an excellent resource to increase awareness of nature and the environment. Play with the Matching Game promotes nature and science knowledge, reading, math, social development, and dramatic play.
