Board Game. Emily's vacation assignment was to make a board game she could play with her class in some kind of GameFest. Making the game wasn't a mandatory thing, said the teacher's note - more of "an extra challenge" if the kids wanted to do it. When I raised my eyebrow at the likelihood of 7-year-olds independently designing and executing a workable (the keyword here being "workable") board game, Emily assured me that parents were allowed to help and asked me, therefore, to pleeeeeeeeeeaaaase help. So we spent the day making it and everyone helped. She designed her game based on the many board games she'd seen and played. My job was to steer her ideas towards functional elements and perform all the dangerous stunts required to render them in cardboard. If your kids are at the age when they enjoy board games, it might be fun to make your own. First, we had to find a box. Next we had to name it: and devise a way to fasten it. For these, we used these round blue Makedo fasteners.

Tutorial: Felt Flash Cards / Memory Game. Do you love having flash cards for your little ones but hate that they always end up looking like this (actual flash card box from my house — the big question is why I hadn’t thrown it away)? I’ve had this idea on my mind forever. It started with me wanting to make Wyatt a quiet book for the last two and a half years. Let’s just say it hasn’t happened yet. Then I started thinking that by the time I get one made for him, he’ll be too old for it. Enter his love for flash cards, and recently, playing memory (not that he follows all the rules, but that’s okay, I try to not let it bug me even though I’m a stickler for rules).
What if I could come up with something that combined the two ideas? The best part is that they are totally portable and you won’t be playing “52 Card Pickup” with them — unless you want to :). Description: This tutorial will guide you through the steps to make both your own felt flash cards and memory game! Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Linked to: Make a Big-As-Life Board Game. By Diane Gilleland Why gather around a table to play board games when you can play them all over the house? Scrounge up a few inexpensive materials, enlist the help of some favorite kids, and you’ll be playing this giant game in no time. Because the whole thing is modular, you can change the board and the rules anytime you like. Materials Note: Carpet squares make a safe and flexible game board layout. You can often get them from carpet retailers, who discard old samples periodically. You might also try your local home improvement store for inexpensive carpet or tile squares. 30-40 squares should be enough to lay out a game board with assorted twists and turns in about a 650 square-foot area.
Directions Step 1: Some of your game squares will need messages on them, like “Lose a Turn,” “Move Ahead 3,” “Draw a Card,” etc. Step 2: I used some adhesive vinyl lettering with very strong adhesive to make the messages. Step 4: Glue punched dots to each surface. Playing the Game:1. Related. Nap Time Crafters: Cupcake Matching Game.

I’m an Aquarius – you have to forgive me! We have our heads in the clouds. So the yo-yos. When I spotted these at Michaels, I squealed. I even watched the Yo-Yo Man (on the Smothers Brothers). Gather These Supplies Wood yo-yos – Creatology at Michaels.
As I’ve written this entry, I’ve become intrigued by yo-yo’ing again, and I might have to take it back up. I think I’m going into a “state of yo.” Trace the yo-yos onto your scrapbook paper. Cut the circles out carefully. Paint your yo-yos. Put a medium layer of Mod Podge down onto the yo-yo and spread out – put the paper down and smooth thoroughly. Coat the entire yo-yo with Mod Podge. I wanted a little “schwing” added to the outside rim of both yos, so I added FolkArt Extreme Glitter. I even went “wild and crazy” with the pink yo-yo – I did flowers one side and dots on the other. 6 Fun Handmade Family Time Ideas. Featured on Made: The Fishing Hole Roll.

(it was 6.99 a yard…but I had my 50% off coupon) I actually went to home depot first to find a drop cloth but the smallest I could find was a 5 ft by 5 ft (for about the same price) so if anyone is a mad 4 square player you could buy that and do it up right.
I was on the fence about whether to hot glue stuff to it or paint….. but I finally went with hot glue…I mean I’ve got to live up to the name right? The easy peasy way is to get those felt sheets….

Today, I want to share with you the first tutorial on this blog: How to make a "Memory"-game out of fabric. First, think about what you want to use as the pictures on your game. I used fabric that my kids had picked themselves: two different novelty prints with dinosaurs and pirates. For the backing, I went through my stash and found some really cute fabric that was once meant to be a backing for a baby quilt, but since the boys are getting taller now, it was'n enough fabric anyway: blue and green stripes on white background. If you want the cards to be a bit thicker, you might want to use interfacing/batting as well. I went for Vlieseline H640 (Vliene H640 as it's called in English). You, whatever you prefer. That's what I started with: (oh, please don't care about the amount of backing-fabric and batting shown on the picture... since I live way off from any quiltshop, I tend to buy a bit more all the time so that I can start a non-planned project whenever I feel like it) Ok.
BANG! ( A fun flashcard game ) As your children go off to school, you'll often find that there are certain skills that they'll need to master with accuracy and speed. Whether it's letter sounds, sight words or math facts, if they are able to recognize the correct answer quickly, it's much easier to move on to the next challenge. For some children, they seem to pick up the skills almost intuitively on their own. For others, some extra practice will really help them be successful. In many cases, simple flashcards will do the trick.
When I was a teacher, I often played this game "BANG! " Here's what you'll need ~ an empty container, some blank index cards, and some markers. If you'd like, you can decorate your can with scrapbook paper, stickers, etc. Next, make up your flashcards. I wanted to practice sight words with my daughter, so I just cut my index cards in half and wrote words from the Dolch Word list. ( If you're not familiar with the Dolch List, it's a list of 220 of the most commonly used words. 1. 2. 3. 4. Kid Craft: Moving Ballerina Toy.

Sure, it's not exactly what you would define as 'challenging' but there's something charming about it's simplicity. So, for a bit of cute fun I decided to re-create the game with a slight twist.
