Colours, Colours Everywhere

I have been working on making a game for the wee ones for their Easter gift.  I found this good idea on the internet some months back and would tell you where but I have no idea where it was.  This happens quite often, I see something I can make and remember the idea but very rarely remember where it was.  I'll try to work on that.

For this game you will need:
                 Paint/Colour swatches
                 Clothes Pins
                 Glue

You start by getting colour swatches from your local hardware or department store.  They are free which I always like.  Make sure you get two of each colour.


Cut one of the colour swatches to separate each colour.  Then glue a clothes pin on the back.  I used wooden ones because they are flat and would stick the best.  I pick up a pack of 50 clothes pins for $1.49, that's pretty good!



That's it, you have just made a colour matching game for your wee ones. 


You can give them only the one set of colours or mix more in depending on the stage your wee one is at.  They just clip them on to the matching colours.



It is a super easy gift that is really cost efficient too.
