Over the holidays we had an impromptu dinner with our neighbors and my youngest worked all afternoon on a felt snake toy for their daughter (complete with handsewn sequins). About thirty minutes before they were set to arrive, I realized we should have a little gift for their son, too. Like a lot of five year old boys, he is really into Legos right now. We still have quite a collection of Lego magazines and catalogs from when our kids were younger, and I thought we could whip something up out of those. The kids and I flipped through the pages looking for pictures featuring the same minifigure.
We then cut them out and attached the pictures with doublestick tape to some playing cards from an incomplete deck. In keeping with the mini-theme we cut the cards small, too, calling it a Mini Memory set. Of course, this would work with pictures from any magazine or catalog (Playmobil and American Girl come to mind) and the cards could be kept full size. It was definitely a quick craft for a quick fix!
Nice work. Following also. I didn't see Twitter or Facebook or I would have followed that way, too. Linda
