Create a mod for your modifications: use a personal mod even for small changes, and never directly modify the game files in the Steam Stellaris folder, as they may be overwritten without warning. I laminated all parts of this game for durability. You can get this at my favorite Tot School related blog 1+1+1=1. You can do shape matching, a shape memory game, shape tracing or even use them as flashcards. It is made so that you can use it several different ways. The last game isn’t really a file folder game (unless you want to put it together that way), but it is along the same lines as the other games. I also printed 2 sets of carrots (I didn’t show them all in the pic), so that we could leave them with each bunny without running out. There are 2 sets of bunnies that come with the game, but I just attached one for now. This site also has a bunch of free file folder games. He still doesn’t identify many numbers, so I am hoping this game and the one above will help with that. It only goes to the number 5, so it is perfect for where Evan is at right now with his counting. This Hungry Bunny file folder game is also a counting and number identification game. I will probably do this with the dinosaur game above as well. I also attached Velcro dots to both parts, so that the pieces stay in place. The pieces with cherries on them are laminated. The next one is a counting and number identification game also from File Folder Fun. There are lots of options! The pieces that aren’t attached to the folder are laminated. Be sure to look around and check all the other free file folder games they have. I picked it because Evan loves dinosaurs. The second is another color matching game. 
Then I taped the pockets on with clear packing tape. I laminated all parts of this one because I didn’t want the pockets that hold the paint brushes to rip. I love it because there are 4 paintbrushes per color, so the game isn’t as quick as some of the others. The first is a color matching game from Confessions of a Homeschooler and you can get it here. However, I did test several of them out on him and he really enjoyed each one.
I’m not letting him play with them just yet, since I want them to be “fresh” in August. Below is a list of the games I’ve made so far and some pictures of how they came together. I focused on 3 categories of games: colors, shapes and numbers/counting. Since he’ll be 28 months in August, I kept them rather simple for now. I’m also hoping that they will be something new and interesting to keep him entertained when I can’t be fully present with him. This way I can still assist him when he needs it. I’m hoping he’ll be able to play them next to me while I am nursing.
I want to have a collection of educational games he can play when the new baby comes in August. I’ve been collecting a bunch of file folder games I found on the internet and making them when Evan goes to bed at night.
