Chocolate Memory

A fun little game to make for the kids or for adults, as I have done, is a version of 'Memory' using chocolate coins and some fancy paper.  I put this together for my girlfriend Leah, who hosted our girls night in this week.

YOU WILL NEED

Golden Chocolate Coins   Ï Various Patterned Papers   Ï Glue Stick   Ï 1 1/4in Scalloped Hole Punch {or scissors will suffice}


I've made two versions already . . .  The first was not ideal as the paper consisted of pictures of fruit that I cut from larger sheets.  As a result the images within the little circles were difficult to distinguish and identify.  The cherries and tomatoes were too similar as were the kiwi fruit and green apple.  The trick is to use patterned paper that is quite distinctive.

Ï The making of, is quite easy, so I'll let the photos do the talking . . .




I'm thinking that this game can be made a little more grown-up if presented in a fancy package :) 


If I was making it for a kiddlywink, I'd be inclined to put it in a cloth pouch or even a gift bag of some sort. I came across this idea through a fellow blogger, who is very sweet and very clever: Scrumdillydo
