Today I'm sharing five groundhog day activities that you can do with this one set of {FREE} Groundhog Day Shadow Matching Cards! They're perfect for preschoolers, but you can also use them for older AND younger kids!! What can you do with this adorable set of groundhog shadow matching cards? Here are a few ideas... Groundhog Day Activities {with Groundhog Shadow Matching Cards!!}: * Make a file folder game by using glue or tape to stick the shadows onto a file folder. Store the colored groundhogs in an envelope taped to the back of the folder. You can laminate the folder and colored pieces to make it last longer! When your preschooler or toddler is ready to play, pull out the colored pieces and match them to their shadow! * Play a memory game! Simply turn all the cards (or just use half the cards for younger kids) upside down on the table and take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If you find a match, you get another turn! * Play a speedy match
