Handmade Holiday 2010 - Memory Game

I made this for Felicity and Logan to play together.  They're made of felt and scraps of material I already had.  I believe I calculated that this game cost me under $2 to make.  I used a few black felt squares at 29 cents each, the material was free because it was tiny little scrap pieces I already had, and the thread was even free since I'm still using up all the thread that was in my Nana's sewing box that was passed down to me.  Can't beat a handmade memory game for under $2!  Plus, it's totally tailored to their likes.  Half the game pieces are girl pieces and half are boy pieces.  Butterflies, owls, and birds will thrill Lissy, and aliens, spaceships, and turtles will thrill Logan.  I can't wait to watch them play it.

I made a little draw string bag for them all to tuck nicely into.  I sewed a playing piece onto the front of the bag for brainless pick up........I hope!

  2. Very cute, Jen. Hey, I was telling Papa about your blog. I thought he might be interested in reading it occasionally. Do you have to give him permission to read it or whatever?
