This year for the holidays I knew I wanted to craft a special gift for my daughters and nieces. A gift that could be considered a game or toy, but \u00a0that could also be considered a quieter activity (what parent doesn’t love some quiet time… am I right?!). I brainstormed for a while but kept being drawn to the idea of a game. It may just be the occupational therapist in me, but I am all about visual learning and fine motor activities that can be incorporated into play time. This is when I decided to create a personalized memory game! This craft is a fun and simplistic project that will result in wonderful gifts for your loved ones! Furthermore, the project is easily customizable and allows for you to incorporate your personal touch! Making a memory game has never been more fun!<\/p>\n

MAKING A MEMORY GAME:<\/h4>\n

The memory game I created included twelve squares and six different matching patterns. Needless to say, you can create a larger game with more squares\/matches or a smaller game with more squares\/matches. Again, very customizable to the person receiving the gift. More squares, the more complicated the game. Less squares, the easier the game. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will discuss the twelve square\/six matching patterns template.<\/p>\n
