Acorn Memory Game

This is a fun and very easy project.  The kids took acorn caps and colored the inside with felt tip pens.  Then filled the caps half full with white glue…..then wait.  Part of the fun was watching the glue dry!!!  Really, as the glue dries the color from the felt tip pens leaches into the glue turning white glue into  beautiful ,shiny, almost jewel like colors.  On these damp days it takes as long as 24 hours (or more) to dry comepletly.  Once the acorn caps are dry the kids can spread them out color side down and play a matching-memory game.  For really young ones just learning colors is fun.

 I put a matching set of 8 acorn tops in a Altoid tin and think it would make a great travel game….what do you think?
