Sticker Matching Game

Sticker Matching Game

This morning I woke up to this post from Kiwi Crate in my inbox, which turned out to be a perfect afternoon activity for Miss G.  The moment I nonchalantly mentioned a ‘sticker matching game’, she was ready to go.

Luckily, this little activity takes very little prep work.  Miss G helped me gather some paper, some dot stickers, a Sharpie, and some scissors.

To get started, I folded a green sheet of construction paper in half, and cut out a tree shape freehand.

Next, I used the Sharpie to draw 15 unique shapes onto the dot stickers (the original post uses letters instead of shapes, but I thought this would be a better starting point for Miss G).

Next, I drew matching shapes on the tree.  And that was it.  The game was ready.

Then I let Miss G go.  All I said was “Do you want to try this sticker matching game?” and she started peeling stickers off of the backing.  I wasn’t sure what she’d do, but she automatically placed the polka dotted circle sticker on top of the polka dotted circle drawn on the paper.  Smart little cookie! ☺

And from there, she powered through the rest of the stickers.

Let me tell you, Miss G adores matching games.  Mix in stickers, which she also adores, and this game couldn’t be more perfect for her.

Done!

Of course, the second she finished her tree she tilted her head to the side and said, “Grae Grae does anover sticker matching game, Mama?”  And really, how can you say no to that?  This time, we went with something a little different…  I cut out a quick gingerbread person and used the stickers as body parts and decorations.

She loved this one too and pleaded for another.

This time I decided to try the letter idea.

I wasn’t sure if it would be too much for her, but off she went and carefully started making matches.

It definitely took her a little more time, but she happily worked on it on her own as I tidied the house.

“Mama, Mama!  All done!!!”

This was such a fun and simple activity that we’ll definitely be doing it again soon (VERY soon – as in tomorrow – if it’s up to Miss G).

“Grae Grae Stickery!”

10 / 18 / 1210 / 22 / 12

Five minutes of quiet in our house, and this is the result…

IMG 0728Then she retrieved her ‘That’s Not My Gracen’ book to show me just where her inspiration had come from.

Monkey.
