Run the mitten pattern off on a variety of colors of construction paper.  I wanted mine to have a red mitten with a green cuff + a green mitten with a red cuff, so I ran off two of each page (one on red and one on green).  Laminate, trim and then cut the cuffs off so that you create puzzles for a Magic e Mitten Matching Game.
