Seashell Matching Game

We have a big container of shells collected from near our home and all sorts of other places that the girls love to play with. They become seats for fairies, boats in the bath and make cool prints in playdough. Yesterday we turned some of the flatter shells into a matching game using some small sea animal pictures and blutac - lots of fun! Both girls loved discovering the little animals underneath each shell and Bubble spent ages finding the pairs over and over again.

WE USED:

* flat clean seashells
* small pictures of sea animals
* blutac

The game was very simple to make - I cut out the sea animal pictures and we used blutac to attach them to the underside of each shell.

Then we spread them across the table with the pictures facing downwards.
