I put together a set of playing cards for my kids to be used mostly as rewards for being SUPER KIDS. Then at the end of the week they can get the real rewards for being so great! They took me just over an hour to make from scratch before I ordered. I was quite proud of myself!
Wouldn't it be fun to play the game of old maid with your kids and actually have familiar faces that fill the cards?
It is a great present for your kids or grandchildren and can be completed in a very short time using a template, or just a little longer from scratch.

Some of my very favorite memories with my Grandparents were sitting at their little rickety card table, next to the fire, playing the game of Skip-bo. Have you ever played this game? It is so much fun.
My sister and I would often go over to their house on winter evenings just to play this game...and maybe to get a snack. ;) We would often pair up, my sister with my Grandma, and me with Grandpa or vice versa. Grandpa always thought that the opposite person was cheating because he wanted to win and couldn't stand it when anyone else would challenge him in that. All in all these times were among my very best family gaming memory. I am so thankful that my grandparents always took the time to sit down with us for a game of cards.
In leu of this memory I put together a set of Family Skip-bo cards on our publishing system this weekend. I still have to change around some of the pictures, but I'll give you a sneak peek. I am going to be giving them a total of 3 decks of card to match the official game, and I am sure they will love it because these cards will be full of pictures of their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
This is also a great introduction for our fabulous Thanksgiving Playing Card Special. Everyday this week I am going to feature a template from our Template Gallery--with a hint of the spirit of Thanksgiving as well.
What are your favorite card playing memories?
