How would you describe an I Spy Quilt?
I am in the process of making an I Spy quilt as part of a fund raiser for an special needs child in our community. I would like to include a little description on how to "use" the quilt but am not sure what to put on the card. This is the first time I have made one, I don't have grands yet, so I'm not sure how to describe it. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to word the accompanying instructions?

To me, I Spy quilts can be made/used in two ways. The first is a simple take off from the children's game "I spy with my little eye..." Game: you name an item pictured in the quilt and the child searches to find it. Teaches the child colors and nouns. The second is when an I Spy quilt is made with 2 of each item, and the child finds a named item and the second one that matches it.

To play with someone who says "find me a flower. Where is the puppy? Do you see anything blue?" I also put a few squares that are repeats so the person can ask "Do you see two the same?"
