Here’s a great way to repurpose your scraps of cardstock and patterned paper into a fun activity for kids! Simply gather up your memory-keeping supplies (cardstock, patterned paper, Fiskars tools), and let them create a Memory game. An added bonus – if you lose a piece, you can always make more!

Instructions:

1. Start by trimming a 12 inch x 12 inch piece of cardstock into 3 inch squares. Round corners using Fiskars Round the Bend punch.

2. Gather cardstock scraps, bits of patterned paper – even old greeting cards, or magazines – and various shapes and sizes of Fiskars punches.

3. Punch 2 of each shape. One of my favorite new punches is the Fiskars Lever punch in Poppy!

4. Decorate the cardstock squares, being certain to make 2 identical squares for each design.

5. Embellish a large envelope with more punched shapes to hold the game pieces.
