In the same vein as the Color Book – how about a customized Memory Game?
Here’s one made with rubber stamps on wood discs that I love – it’s got owls!
Found this one through Pintrest – looks like Jenga pieces with scrapbook paper on it.
This lady made a game from used metal canning lids (since you can only use them once for food storage).
I would think you could different styles for different age groups – the canning lids or coaster size wooden circles for the 3-5 year old crowd, then just use smaller items and more of them for the older crowds. Here’s another good example of a game for the younger set:
You could even use dominos (fill the dents with Fimo clay maybe?), Scrabble Tiles, wooden tags… you could even try casting some out of resin, opaque with a different tiny object imbedded in the bottom (like jewelry charms maybe?). You could take plastic soda bottle caps – or metal ones even – fill with resin and an object too. You could make individual quilt squares! The possibilities are endless and it’s definitely an interesting way to reinvent an age old game!
