I picked up these paint chips at my local Lowe’s store. I love that they have a window you can use to see an object behind the paint chip and see if it matches. The little window made it a great tool to take to the grocery store and look for green foods. JDaniel loves to have something to do while sitting in the cart. This activity was a lot of fun.
Sometimes I would hand JDaniel the item to test.
Sometimes I would hold the card up to the food and have him tell me if it matched.
We looked like we were having so much fun another mother of a two-year-old mentioned she would like to try this activity with her child.

Thanks for linking up. This would be a great activity to do with my son. I hate grocery shopping with him & need something to distract him from climbing out of the cart/ grabbing everything off the shelves! The best part is that its easy to make. Thanks again!

This is a good idea. Little man is still too young for it now though.
Today is St Patrick’s day…I still have never had a green beer (and I surely can’t this year, lol).

Oh my gosh, this sounds like the perfect game to have my daughter play when we go shopping at the Grocery Store. I ALWAYS end up with items WE don’t need in my cart if my daughter goes shopping with me. I need something to keep her little hands and mind occupied while I try and grocery shop, you know?
