Felt Matching Game

 Felt Matching Game

           I love to make toys for my grandchildren from felt and flannel material.  I found this piece at JoAnns and thought it would make a cute matching game.  The bold colors and cute, simple  illustrations would work nicely.

         The first step was to cut the squares apart and have 2 of each design. Next, I cut squares of felt the same size.  The sewing was simple, just zig zag around each square. Easy Peasy!

          This little game can be used as a simple match game or as a memory game for a older child.  Color recognition, learning letters, opposites, and beginning reading are all possible using these squares.  Where is the dog? Can you give the dog a kiss? What does the dog say?  Can you find the green tree? Where is the wind mill?  Blow the wind mill like this. These are many of the possible ways to use this simple toy.  It is nice and quiet because it is made if of very soft material.

       

        These can be easily popped into a tote bag for quite play while on an airplane going on vacation or at a restaurant.  

 Enjoy your day with your family and friends!
