Washi tape matching activity for toddlers

When I found four big rolls of washi tape at Michaels for three dollars, I could not resist buying it. As my toddler is interested in matching activities, I and my eight year daughter created these matching activity cards with Washi tape. They can be used for memory game too.

Materials needed : (affiliation links used)

1. Washi tape ( I did not use this brand. I have given for reference)

2. Empty cereal box

3. Scissors

4. Ruler

5. Pencil

Method : 

1. Cut along the side tab of the empty cereal box.

2. The width of my washi tapes was 2 inches. As I wanted to create cards with 2 tapes, I wanted cards that are 4 inches wide. Based on your tape’s size, the measurement will vary. I made the cards 3 inches long.

3. I drew 12 rectangles (6 pairs) that are 4*3 in the cereal box and cut them out.

4. My eight year old pasted two tapes adjacent to each other to make the card. She made two cards one after other with the same pattern to play matching or memory game.

5. The cards were ready within 5 minutes

My toddler has played single image matching activities till now. She has to match the cards based on two patterns. Initially it was challenging for her, but she got hang of it. Once she is comfortable with matching, we will move to memory game.

My eight year old suddenly realized that the cards can be used as dominos too and started arranging them.
