Here's a great way to recycle some cereal boxes as well as wrapping paper. Note that these instructions will make 48 memory tiles, but you can easily modify them to make more or fewer. With this version of the game, you have to match up both the pattern and the color, and game play works the same as with any other memory game. (If you aren't familiar with the game, you can find instructions here.) Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Brian for his assistance with this project. It is a rather time consuming endeavor and I'm grateful that I had another set of hands to help me with tracing, gluing, and cutting out circles.
Materials:
*Six different patterns of wrapping paper or distinct characters on wrapping paper
*Solid colored or holographic wrapping paper
*4 cereal boxes
*8 sheets of paper, each sheet a different color
*Small (about 2.5" in diameter) and medium (about 3" in diameter) circle templates
*Pen
*Scissors
*All purpose adhesive
Directions:
*Trace the small circle onto the patterned or character wrapping paper such that you end up with 48 circles, 8 of each pattern or character, then cut out the circles.
*Trace the medium circle template onto the cardstock, making 6 circles of each color, and cut out the circles.
*Trace the medium circle template onto the cereal boxes, making 48 circles in total, and cut out the circles.
*Trace the medium circle template onto the solid colored (or holographic) paper to make 48 circles and cut them out.
*Glue a piece of solid colored (or holographic) wrapping paper to one side of each cardboard circle and a piece of cardstock to the other side of the circle until you have covered both faces of each circle.
*Glue on your patterned or character paper such that you end up with two or zero tiles of a particular pattern matched up with a given color. Here's what all of my tiles looked like when I finished:
