Recycled Borders Matching Game

Materials Needed:  
Any theme related border  
Scissors  
Velcro  
Manilla folder  
Tape
Laminating material

What to Do:  
Save all theme related borders when taking them off your bulletin boards, parent boards, walls, etc…  
Recycle them by cutting them out and reusing them for matching games.  
Tape some of the cut outs from the borders on the inside of a folder and then laminate the folder for durability.
After laminating the folder apply a piece of Velcro in front of each of the cut outs.
Find the border cutouts matching the ones that are laminated in the folder and laminated them.
Apply Velcro to the backs of the matching border pieces.
Invite the children to take turns playing this matching game.

 

*You may choose to eliminate the folder and just laminate the cutouts to use as a memory game instead of a matching game.
