Before the month is over... I will share our first craft post.
Here is a game that has a lot of sentimental value for
me. It was my grandma and grandpa’s and was given to me when their house was
cleaned out. But the cards were worn and ready to fall apart. In order to
preserve them and keep them in good shape for further use, I laminated them.
The laminate sheets I bought from the Dollarama, so they were not expensive.
The Roadrunner Card Game
If you have cards that need to be laminated, be sure when you
cut them out, to cut well out from the edge of the card, leaving enough room for the laminate to
stick all the way around. If you make the mistake like I did to cut to close,
the laminate won’t stick. To fix the problem use tape to hold it together; it
won’t show much.
As you can see I used one sheet of laminate for 9 cards.
This is a good school project to keep a young person occupied for a
good hour or more.
Just came across your blog. I remember these cards well. I played them with my dads uncle who was visiting from Germany. We didn't speak the same language but somehow we connected over playing thus game for hours...I always list...lol. We found them again years ago, but at that time I didn't think to keep them I am now heart broken that we got rid of them. I would love to play with my son. Made me smile to see your post and the cards from my memories. Thanks
