I originally bought these unfinished wooden rectangles for the chore magnets I made for the kids, but ended up only using the circles. With the rectangles, I decided to make a small memory type matching game using bits of scrapbook paper. I figure they can bring it when we go out to dinner or force them to do other super boring things where they need to be entertained.
The Etsy seller Less Magnets sells these in sets of 25 for $3. They have squares, circles, blocks, buttons…you name it. So much potential and great prices to boot.
A few snips of the scrapbook paper and a little Mod Podge later, we had a fun matching game. The kids have been playing it all day, so I’m not even sure if it will make it out to the car in case of a boredom emergency.
Here’s the finished product~
