Foam is a great educational material, and with a few more items you most likely have around your house, you can put together a simple game board to work on a number of concepts!

Make your own game board with these materials:
- foam stickers
- {any foam stickers will do! we purchased these foam hearts from the dollar store}
- manilla file folder
- scissors
- construction paper
- glue
I opted to make our game board in a file folder so that it would be easy to store and a bit more sturdy than plain paper.
Open the file folder up and glue two pieces of construction paper on the inside.
We used scalloped scissors
to create a pretty edge on our game board, but that is totally optional!

Next, with your foam stickers begin making a trail from one end of the file folder to the opposite side.
How you design your game board is completely up to you-- so be creative! Invite your children to make it with you!
Peeling those stickers is great for fine motor skills!
To play simply add a few manipulatives to use as game pieces-- we used our mini erasers
from last week's Stack the Erasers Game and a die

We kept our game pretty simple-- roll the die, move that many spaces.
However, you could add in some flashcards, write a word or math problem on each foam sticker your child has to figure out to move ahead, etc.!
So many ways to personalize this to your child's needs!
