HELLO MAYPOLE MATCH-UP

   After I saw Aubry's post about new ideas for her felt balls, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I decided I wanted to come up with something that my little one year old could play with, which meant something really simple. I thought a lot about the things we have been working on lately like, where her belly-button is, or how old she is and holding up one finger, she's one! Then I thought about how I could apply these felt balls to something we could learn from. She obviously isn't old enough to know her colors, but I thought it would be fun to work on matching things together. That is where I came up with the Hello Maypole Match-up! We have had a lot of fun playing with the magnets, it sure beats watching Octonauts, and maybe one of these days she will start figuring out the colors! I hope you enjoy the match-up game as much as we have!

Supplies:

   Hello Maypole Felt Balls - Ice Pop Colorway

   Hello Maypole Match-Up print - DOWNLOAD HERE

   Scotch repositionable magnetic tape

   Cookie sheet

   Hot glue gun

   If available, one-year olds are especially helpful, but not required;)

  

The how-to:

   1: I emailed the match-up print to the local staples, and had them make a 17x12 print on matte paper. I had them trim it down to fit inside the cookie sheet, and then had them laminate it for me.

   2: The next step was to apply magnets in each corner of the print to keep it attached to the cookie sheet. After that was done, I used hot glue to attach a small magnet to each felt ball.

   3: I put it on the cookie sheet and let my little one go to town on it! It makes a perfect activity for the car, church, or just a rainy day activity to switch things up a bit, enjoy!
