What to Expect
Unleash your child's creativity in this fun after-school activity where kids design their own memory card games. Using a variety of materials like cardstock, patterned paper, old children’s books, and stickers, children will craft unique cards featuring their favourite people, pets, and places. This hands-on session encourages imagination and fine motor skills.
The activity is perfect for children aged 5-12 and requires no prior experience, making it an inclusive and welcoming environment for all skill levels. Once the cards are complete, kids will enjoy playing the memory game they created, reinforcing memory skills in an engaging way.
Parents can expect a relaxed and creative atmosphere where their children can express themselves artistically while socializing with peers.
