{Recycled} Coin Book Game

dsc_0035

This accordion style coin book is really just eight (front + back) paint samples taped together.  I used cheapy double stick tape to adhere the coins to the sticks and paint chips.

  Object of game?  Match the popsicle stick to the correct coin. 

 I’m really diggin these recycled craft projects.  Why on earth did I ever pay money for mainstream toys and games?  While I was working on this Mason made a house with paint chip siding.  Emerson used ‘dots’ on chip samples.  I’m out of paint chips now… maybe that means I need to start another home improvement project! Naaaa, I’d rather do art!

Paint Chip Matching Game

Recycle old paint samples for fun a match & learn game…thanks to No Time for Flashcards!

aaa

To make these little matching monsters you will need:

  1. Clothespins
  2. Googly eyes
  3. Crayola paint chips (2 of each color)
  4. Double sided tape

Simply adhere a strip of ‘color chip’ to the clothes pin and add eyes.

 To make this more challenging for older pre-schoolers— have them spell the color as they as they find the matching paint sample.

Match on!
