Enjoy all the holiday season has to offer with these Christmas Color Your Own Memory cards. An easy printable that you can turn into a muli-day project with coloring, cutting, gluing, and playing.
With a little over two weeks off of school coming up, it is the season of both Christmas magic and searching for activities to do with the kids.
While I have most of our out of the house adventures already planned, I like having a cache of crafts, activities, and games we can do at home right at my fingertips.
In this printable Christmas Color Your Own Memory, we have multiple activities rolled into one from coloring to cutting to gluing to actually playing. It’s the perfect item to have at the ready whether we need a focused activity, or if I need the kids to be occupied while I make dinner and get a few chores done.

How To Use These Christmas Color Your Own Memory Cards
With simple line drawings, the user gets to put her creative side to work with coloring before cutting and optional gluing.
1. Color the memory cards as creativitly as you prefer.
2. Cut out each square.
3. Glue each square to a piece of cardstock or construction paper to ensure you cannot see the markings on the back of the square when it’s flipped over for actual game play.
3. Cut out the squares out of the cardstock.
4. Play memory!
If you plan to use your memory cards again and again, I would highly recommend laminating them. Then you don’t have to worry about them getting ruined year to year or class to class.
The kids are always excited to see brand new coloring pages, especially ones related to a holiday. They divy up the pages, grab markers, and set to work around the kitchen table.
It is one of my true joys to see the three of them busy at work making their matches vibrant.
