Simply Made ~ Paper Clip Colors

Need:

• different colored paper clips
• laminated construction paper rectangles to match the paper clips

To Make:

• cut out and laminate the construction paper rectangles (mine are small like 2 inch by 5 inch) If you need a small home laminator, this one is great!
• count out 5 colored paper clips for each rectangle place all in a snack sized baggie

To Play:

• place the colored rectangles in front of your LO
• now place the colored paper clips in front of them too
• have them sort them into colored piles
• now have the pick a rectangle and match the paper clips to it
• have them slide the paper clips on till all are on. now they can move on to the next color
  

This is a great game for restaurants, mass, church, doctors office or anyplace you need them to be busy but not loud at the same time! They love it and it helps pass the time for them. My LO is currently 35 mos.
