summer boredom buster. a craft.

I'm SO excited to be guest posting over at littlebitfunky today!
crystal is an amazing gal with a huge heart.

here's what my post was all about over there.

if your house is anything like mine this summer then you have a few kids that are semi-self-sufficient and then you have a preschooler who needs constant attention and direction {in fun activity to keep her busy.}

this idea is not a new one.
i first saw it on instagram from someone who first saw it on pinterest…
it’s so simple.
and it’s one of those crafts/activities that’ll have you thinking “why didn’t i think of that?”


first, gather your supplies.
you’ll need…

*paint chip cards from the hardware store {assorted colors}
*scissors
*glue
*clothes pins


next, cut a section of the paint chip card from one side about ¾ inch wide.
and then cut the separate colors. {see photo}


final step for you, glue each color to a separate clothes pin.





now, it’s time for the fun!
call your preschooler in for A GAME!!
the idea is to simply match the clothes pin colors to the paint chip colors.

genius, right!?

have her name the colors as she completes a card.
fun AND learning.










mckinley played it again and again.
she loved it!!!

after she was finished playing the game the way it was intended she made her own fun.
she pretended they were cookies!

fun and learning AND imaginative play.
WINNING!





HAPPY SUMMER!!!
