This idea is pinterest inspired! I LOVE pinterest...
With Caylee eating 3-4 jars of baby food a day we have TONS of the jar lids. We also go through lots of formula... I usually buy the bigger containers, but sometimes the store is out, so I have several of the cans too. The lids are not sharp, so they can be used to do this...
I just printed off different pics of animals, used some mod podge on the cap, stuck the paper on, used mod podge on top and Voila! You have your own memory game. Obviously, Caylee is too young for a memory game, so I can just show her pics of the animals right now...but I did make 2 of every animal for a memory game later.
The Mod Podge is non-toxic, but I still don't let her chew on the caps (I could bc like I said, they aren't sharp). Then I use the formula cans to store them in! I need to decorate the cans, but haven't decided how to divide things up yet... I was thinking one can for Zoo Animals, another for Farm Animals, another for Water Animals... but I also may do colors, or shapes.. or tons of other things (seeing as I have SO many caps available to me!)
It looks a little blurry when you first put Mod Podge on (above pic), but drys very nicely (below pic). Make sure computer ink on paper is completely dry first, it may still spear a little, but not as much if it's super dry.
There ya go! A cheap/easy way to prepare for future games and to help her start recognizing different things now! Plus, with the handy carrier (formula tins) the game can be taken anywhere!
