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.
This workshop is designed to be both educational and entertaining. Children will learn about the concept of memory and how games can help improve cognitive abilities. They will:
- Draw and cut out their own cards
- Use collage techniques with various materials

- Play the memory matching game to test their creations
The session lasts one hour, providing ample time for crafting and gameplay. Materials are provided, so children only need to bring their enthusiasm and creativity.
