Memory Match Game

Memory Match Game




Who doesnt love a fun memory match game. I remember playing them all the time when I was little. I havent bought any memory games for Jake yet so I thought Id make him one after I was inspired by the one I saw on Dandee. This game was super easy to make and its great for starting a conversation about colors and shapes. 


Heres what you need to make your own memory game:
-12 small 1.5" wooden discs. I bought mine at Michaels. 
-Colored felt (if you dont want to spend the time cutting shapes out of felt you could also use foam stickers). 
-Scissors
-Glue (I used a hot glue gun)
-Bag (optional, but a great way to take this game on-the-go)


As you can see Im not wonderful at cutting out felt shapes, but the good thing is Jake doesnt care. If you add Heat N Bond to the back of the felt its much easier to cut, but I was too lazy to do that step, hence the crooked cutting. 


As you can see I almost always try to add a bag for all of our games when I can. We go out to eat a lot on the weekends and I just rotate the games in my bag each week. These games keep Jake happy and they allow me and my husband to have a more peaceful hands-free eating experience!

Hope you love this game as much as my lil man and I do.
