Shell & Stickers Memory Game

I made this shell and stickers memory game for O(5) about 2 years ago, and I take it to the beach with us every year.

I tried to teach E(1) the ins and outs of memory, but she's not quite ready for that :) However, she had fun matching the stickers.

To make the game, I gathered (from around my house) a bunch of shells that looked similar (O's grandmother brought them to her from the Bahamas), and I bought 2 packs of beach/sea life stickers. I put stickers on each shell to make about 10 matching pairs. Simple and fun!

What a cute idea. I put letter stickers on shells to spell words but this is easier for younger kids.

Finally I know what to do with all those extra shells we have from trips to the beach. A nice end of summer activity.

Wonderful! Kai-awase, from Japan, matched shelf halves together. The insides were painted with nature scenes or images of everyday life. (International Crafts and Games by Cynthia Adams.)
