Colors and Shapes Matching Manipulatives for Little Ones

This fast and easy craft makes a fun matching game for little ones learning colors and shapes.

You will need....

-Microwave Cupcake Tray (I got mine at a thrift store for $1)

-Foam sheets in 6 colors (Again only a buck, this time from Dollar Tree)

-Small Drinking Glass -that fits inside cupcake holes

-Pen

-Scissors

-Crazy Glue or Hot Glue

-Black Marker

1.)  Take the glass and trace a circle onto foam

2.)  Cut circles.  Write the color name on each circle.

3.)  Glue circles into cupcake holder.  I went with the traditional rainbow ROY G BIV

4.)  Cut out shapes.  I did triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles.  

                                     

There you have it!  My Little Miss loves to match the colors, say shape names, and most importantly, dump everything out all over ;).  Hope your little ones enjoy it just as much.

The Classic Creations: Pinterest, Panda, Presents

We were invited to Party Like a Panda for a sweet two-year old guy's  birthday party. He loves the movie Kung Fu Panda which made for a really cute party theme.  So cute in fact that his present needed to be taken up a notch.

 

I got the ideas for both the card and the magnet letters on Pinterest. It is officially my first completed 

Pinterest project.  I love how they turned out.  If you'd like instructions for the card click here and instructions on lots of fun wrapping ideas can be found here.  God Bless Ethan on his Birthday and Every Day!
