While at the Dollar Store a few weeks ago, I came across a really cute bulletin board border. I decided to use it to make a file folder game for my little ones. This is what I made:

This is what I purchased:

This is what I did with it: Cut out the little colors. You need two of each color. Cut a folder in half. Glue one set of colors to the folder. Laminating is optional (but a requirement in my house if I want it to last more than a few days!). Finally, have fun matching the colors. I still have alot of the border still left…even after making two of the games. Any ideas on what to do with them???

    Oh my goodness! What a great idea… very creative! I love the Dollar Tree store, and I’ve seen those cute borders, and wondered what to do with them. Now I know! Thanks for the idea!
