Hi!
Look what I came up with!! We love making easy, simple manipulative games at home. A few days ago, when I got my hands on Popsicle sticks, I decided to make a pattern matching game for my son. I created the geometric pattern on the sticks with the help of sketch pens and sharpie, a ruler and some tape. I made them in pairs for Moksh to do the matching work.
Here’s the link to the video for you to have a look

First, I placed even number of Popsicle sticks parallel & next to each other on to the table top. Then I used clear tape at the ends to fix them on the table top. This made it easier to draw. Then with the help of the sharpie and ruler I made some patterns on the sticks & we were ready for the activity!
Such a simple, easy, frugal DIY game!!
Pls do have a look at our video to see them better:) These are excellent for matching work, make the pairs work and visual discrimination! My son loved them and played quite a bit!
We do quite a bit of early learning at home videos on our you tube channel. Pls do visit us some time:)
Thanks for watching & happy learning!!
