Welcome Crafty Crow readers!
A while back I came across this cool fabric matching game from Montessori & Such. While I didn't feel like I had the time to make the domino set I knew I could make this game FAST AND FOR FREE! All you need is enough scrap fabric to make 2 swatches of each different texture and some pinking sheers!
A little cotton, a little linen, a little corduroy, a little denim, some satin, canvas, and flannel. This is a great use of scraps from your sewing & craft projects or even old clothing. There's a little bit of superhero cape, tablecloth, knight's tunic and one of Stephen's old shirts in our set. This game is to fabric what stew is to your fridge! Use what you've got.
You can start off letting them look at the fabric as they match it up. Basically, let them match according to colors and patterns and get a feel for the different textures. Talk about each one and use a variety of descriptive words. They'll quickly be ready to try it blindfolded and match according to texture only.
Big Fun.
