Here’s a great little matching activity. I’m pretty sure I had as much fun making it as the Hooligans had playing with it.
Little Family Fun was the inspiration behind this one. 
As I’ve mentioned before, I have this awesome stash of Wallpaper sample books, that my local Benjamin Moore store was happy to donate to our daycare, instead of throwing them in the trash. I can’t tell you how much I LOVE having these books to go to, when I need some groovy paper! I love the colours, the patterns, and the textures. Some pages are puffy and thick, some are slick, or bumpy or glossy. And I love that there’s a colour/pattern/texture that is just perfect for almost anything I want to make!
I chose 4 simple Hallowe’en/Fall shapes to use for this activity: Pumpkins (which kind of look like apples, but hey, apples work for fall too), bats, owls, and fall leaves.
I don’t think there’s really any need for instructions here. The pictures kind of say it all.


How cute are these? The Hooligans this activity. LOVED it. Big hit. So simple, and I can see doing this anytime a new holiday rolls around. Just think of all the Christmas shapes there are to choose from!



Those are awesome!! I just got a few books of wallpaper samples thanks to your great advice. Can’t wait to use them!
Oh GOOD! You will love them! Those books open up a whole world of opportunity! I’m even thinking of using some of the really beautiful pages as gift wrap!
