I found this fun idea for making (mostly free, using paint swatches from Home Depot) matching/flash-cards on Pinterest a while back, and finally got around to laminating them (after I unearthed my laminating machine during the recent Cora/computer-room switcheroo, and finally remembered to buy a pack of 3 mil laminating sheets). James thought they were pretty cool. He named all the colors "Red Mickey Mouse! White Mickey Mouse!", etc., right away without prompting (I need to make more, with trickier colors - though the purple and black did confuse him at first, since the purple is so dark) and made some matches, then lined them up along his floor (until Cora showed up and ran off with some of them...)
Perhaps with the next batch I'll write out the names of the colors on the other side...
