Art project, matching memory game, and counting practice all in one. That last one was really fun and sweet for the toddler age. Also a summer theme!! We used simple water colors with different shades of red, pink and green which made them turn out really pretty. We have been watercoloring a lot lately and my set is almost out. I may be ordering this one with some good shades, while still kid friendly on amazon soon.
I recently got a three inch circle punch and am delighted and surprised by the number of uses I find for it. It’s not too expensive and just handy to have.
One tip is to rubber band them as soon as you’re done or they kind of end up everywhere as watermelon decorations!
