JUMBO HOMEMADE YARD DICE

JUMBO HOMEMADE YARD DICE

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Darice 3.54″ Wood Cubes, Darice Sponge Brush, DecoArt Outdoor Living Paint, Darice Paint Brush

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a super easy kids craft, jumbo homemade Yard Dice!!  I did this really fun project over at Live Craft Love last month.

I found these amazing wooden blocks on Darice.  I knew they would be perfect for this craft and they were pretty inexpensive. I just needed to find some fun Summer-y colored paint.  I used some outdoor paint from DecoArt, so these blocks will be long lasting. My kids were so excited to work on this project together.  I know they will have lots of fun outside adding these homemade dice to their yard games.

Step 1 – Paint Blocks

I have all these fabulous paint colors and I couldn’t wait to use them!! They’re ALL outdoor paint so they were perfect for this craft.

First I painted 3 blocks all white.  This paint does take some time to dry so I would wait an hour before adding your second coat.

Step 2 – Add Dots

Now it’s time for the kids to add the dots. The round sponge brush worked great for this step. You can make little dots on the blocks with a pencil to help guide the kids.

If you want to turn this into an adult project, then you can always use a stencil for this step.

I also painted three other blocks in fun colors.  The kids can mix and match them!

All the homemade yard dice look so bright and fun! You could even add them to a kids room or playroom for a cute decoration.

Fun Kids JUMBO HOMEMADE YARD DICE

As you can see this is a pretty easy craft for the kids to work on.  We had a lot of fun outside taking pictures with these jumbo homemade yard dice. Now we can’t wait to start having lots of play time with them! Another fun outdoor activity you can make with the kids this Summer is this DIY ring toss game.

I hope your enjoying your Summer! What have you been crafting with the kids this Summer?

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
