Paper Clip Color Matching Game
I promise you that you can put this together in under 5 minutes.
You can probably make it in less time than it took me to write the directions for this post.
I found a pack of 5" x 8" foam sheets and colored paper clips at the Dollar Tree ~ so under $2 for the little color matching tool and you will have sheets of foam left over as well as a plethora of paper clips.
1. Cut a 1" x 5" strip from each foam sheet that you want to use {I picked red, orange, yellow, green and blue}
2. Stack the foam strips on each other and pierce through the stack on one end with a brad.
3. Match 3 to 4 paper clips with each strip.
4. Play.
See? It really is that easy! Be sure to check out Carissa's Tools for Tots page for some more great homemade ideas as well as the Totally Tots Simply Made posts.

I did this a few years ago and laminated the squares. I will have to brad fasten them, that is a good addition!
Thanks!

That is SOOO funny that you were featured over at Dollarstorecrafts.com. I found the site maybe 4 days ago or so and I totally thought about suggesting that you submit the paper clip matching game to them. So, it was neat to see it on there. Great project! I got my supplies together and I am making it tomorrow. :-)
