Board games

5 May 2010

One of our mothers in the group showed her mother the pick-up sticks we made. She got inspired and sent us prepared kits to make our own board games. She used white coated MDF and cut three sizes of boards. She also sent us sheets of coloured sticky paper to cut up in squares for our checker boards. She used thick dowels to cut 24 x 1cm thick playing pieces. We drew the lines, stuck the squares and decorated the pieces. I also bought sturdy boxes which we decorated and added shoulder straps to house our toys.
