Memory Mittens
Submitted by Cindy
At storytime read the book, a Coat
of Many Colors. I made up a game afterwards of (Mittens of Many Colors).
I die-cutted mittens in a variety of patterned scrapbooking paper and white
poster board. Then I cut the printed mittens in half and make up a variety of
pairs of mittens, glue then on the poster board mittens and laminate. Turn them
over (white side up) and use them as a memory game
