Ornament Matching

I made a 2 sided Matching Ornaments game.

On one side, circles cut out using different patterns of scrapbook paper

On the other side I made different shapes.

Dice Games

C is is really into playing dice games (if you couldn't tell by the recent posts)

I made these 2 felt board games for her to play. You could also play the game with construction paper pieces or by drawing the different parts.



We play pretty much like the Cooties game, you have to roll a 1 before you can add the other pieces.
