I created this Memory Matching Game Printable and used Office Depot printing services (and lots of other fun great products from Office Depot) as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #GearLove
How many of you have kids or friends with kiddos that get a case of summer boredom every now and again? Well, today’s your lucky day! I have a fun memory matching game printable and a couple other summer boredom busters to share with you today!
Would you believe that this weekend for the first time EVER, I had one of my printables printed at the local Office Depot (Office Max)?? I’ve always printed them here at home on my my inkjet printer and thought they looked pretty awesome sauce. Boy was I wrong! Womp womp womp… All I can say is that I will be printing all of them at Office Depot from here on out. Wowzer. The Memory Matching Game Printable was so bright and shiny — perfection!
Jen (the sales associate) was so super friendly and helpful too! They looked so good that I decided to laminate them so they would be a little more durable for the cuties I decide to give these too. So, I printed them, cut them and had them laminated. Of course that is completely optional. You can simply print, cut and play! I did decide to make a back page for you so that the back doesn’t have to be a blank boring white!
Store it in a little muslin bag and keep it on hand for summer travel and more!
Take it a step further and put together a little box of summer busters! Office Depot has a huge selection of super fun for pretty much everything from home office and school supplies to arts and crafts! So, grab a couple of plastic pencil/storage boxes and fill them up with goodies for use at home, on the road or on vacation!
What’s in my boxes, you ask? Let’s take a looksy!
Cadoozles Mechanical Pencils
Character Bubbles Washi Tape
Farmer’s Market Collection Post-It® notes
Chenille Pipe Cleaners
Glitter Glue
Kids Scissors
Mini Softcover Notebooks
Westcott® Kids Scissors
Paper Mate Ink Joy Mini pens
Add some white printer paper or construction paper and the skies the limit! Of course you could add stickers, crayons and more! Hours of fun can be stuffed into these little boxes, so what are you waiting for? Fill one up — and don’t forget to add your Summer Memory Matching game too. Save it for a rainy day and change out all of the goodies for the next rainy day. Consider it a surprise boredom buster box… you might even sneak in a couple pieces of candy {wink-wink}.

Kyla says
Ahhh! These are so awesome! I always go to Office Max for my printables. Great quality and totally reasonably priced. Loving the memory game too. This is great because my 2 year old has been proned to stuffing the cards into her toy toaster. This way I can reprint them and not have to buy a new game! =)
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks for stopping by Kyla! Yes…Office Max has great quality on prints and is very reasonable. 🙂 Hope you’ll give this Summer Memory game a try for your little girl. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo.

Laminating them was a genius idea for outdoor / beach play!
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks Shannon! I appreciate it. Laminating when possible is a great solution for keeping things around a little longer. 🙂 Have a great night. HUGS.
