Enjoy the cold without having to go outside with these Winter Color Your Own Memory cards. An easy printable that you can turn into a muli-day project with coloring, cutting, gluing, and playing.
We all know Minnesota is cold.
In fact, the cold is one of the characteristic of the state that those who have been born and raised here take great pride in: their hardiness of surviving the cold temperatures with joy and fun (think snow sculpting championships, forest ice skating trails, and ice fishing festivals).
Regardless of the pride in the cold, there are some days, like today, when it is just insanely cold even for the born and raised locals. Today, they cancelled school because it was too cold to go. Not too snowy, just straight up too cold.
When the days get extremely chilly like this, but we still want to embrace some winter fun, these Winter Color Your Own Memory Cards come in handy.

How To Use These Winter Color Your Own Memory Cards
With easy and themed line drawings, kids get to put their creative side to work with coloring. Then comes even more skills practice with cutting and optional gluing.
1. Color the memory cards. I like to color them on their full sheets before cutting. It helps to keep the page steady, which is ideal for developing dexterity.
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 game play
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 during game play, or you can use them year after year.
My kids love both a coloring page and a game, so these Winter Color Your Own Memory cards are always a hit with them. I like to turn it into a multi-day project for the younger kids, or a nice couple hours for the older ones.
However you choose to use them, you have lots of skills being practiced and so many options to adapt and play.
