Last year before little man was born I made some flashcards for Lucy. 
We were introducing shapes and numbers and colors and I wanted some flashcards that she could hold and manipulate without me having to worry about them ripping or getting soaked in her mouth, etc. I found this great tutorial at Sew Much Ado. It was perfect for what I had in mind.
She put grommets in hers and found a big metal ring to put them on. I couldn't bring myself to buy the whole grommet set of stuff at the time. So I just sewed button holes and put them on a little ring (I couldn't find a big one like the one she has).
She also made two sets. I only made one. At the time Lucy wasn't really old enough to play memory, we just worked on learning the names of the shapes and number recognition.
Don't mind the random off colored brown ten...I ran out of the darker brown. I think when I make my second number set I'll use the lighter brown, or just make two new dark brown tens.
It was a really fun project. Only took about 4 hours, including cutting and sewing around all the pieces. I enjoyed it and am planning on getting the second set done soon (after I finish the rest of my unfinished projects :D )
