The
game of Memory is as old as rocks (well maybe not that old, but close). Even
still, it is just as fun for today’s kids as it was all those many years ago.
We
made our own Halloween themed version with a sheet of foam and some Halloween
foam shape stickers. It was easier than saying, “Trick-or-Treat!”
First,
I selected foam shapes that I wanted to use for this project, making sure I had
two of each shape so a matching pair could be found. Then, I cut the foam sheet
into strips that were wide enough to easily fit the largest foam sticker. After
measuring again (you know the old saying, “measure twice, cut once.”), I cut
the strips into squares. Last, I placed a sticker in the center of each foam
square. And… TADA! I was done!
While
Memory is a fun game for a pre-schooler, a toddler may not be quite ready for
the structure. Instead, we just played a Matching game (another “as old as
rocks” game). For the Matching game, we place all the cards on the table face
up. After one is selected, the goal is to find the matching shape.
Have
a great time learning this fall!
