Sewing pattern: No sew fabric matching game for kids

Turn off the TV and the video games this summer (at least for a little while), and keep your kids’ brains active with some simple games! Alicia from Sew What Alicia shares a tutorial at Therm O Web showing how you can make a fabric matching game for kids to play. And though it’s made from fabric, it’s actually a no-sew project. Customize the shapes on the back of the “cards” to suit your child’s interest. Make a larger set for an older child, or for a younger child simplify the game by making few “cards” to match. Alicia has some more ideas in her post for adding variations to the game, and I’m sure that your kids will think of plenty of their own variations.
