DIY tic-tac-toe on the go
It’s warm outside and the last place you want your kids is plopped in front of the television! Make a super easy DIY tic-tac-toe game and the whole family can absorb plenty of fresh air while having tons of fun!
All you need is some scrap fabric—we used an old canvas drop cloth that was once-upon-a-time purchased at a hardware store—upcycled coasters, ribbon and acrylic paint from the craft closest.
Get crafty painting on those ‘X’s and ‘O’s. Using a stencil will ensure uniformity, but there aren’t any rules saying they have to be perfect. Then make the tic-tac-toe grid on the drop cloth using ribbon and fabric glue. That’s all there is to it!
Although this game was inspired to keep the young ones busy, it’s also a great backyard game for entertaining the big kids too!
