Playing games is a fun pastime for most families, including ours. Our kids love to try to beat us at different board games – and often do! For Father’s day, I thought it would be fun to make a game using photos of the kids as the pieces. You could absolutely use your favorite existing board game, and just make new tokens for it, that would be an even easier version of this fun Father’s Day craft.
This project is part of Craft Lightning Father’s Day – a whole week of fun and fast Father’s Day crafts you can make in 15 minutes or less. I’m co-hosting with Angie from The Country Chic Cottage and Danielle from Busy Mom’s Helper. Check out the bottom of this post for their fast Father’s Day craft ideas, along with lots from our other crafty friends!
To make the checkerboard you’ll need:
Game board or checkerboard printable and wooden baseboard
Photos of kids shrunk down to 1″ wide
Pegs and cubes (found in the wooden section of the craft store)
Scissors or paper cutter
Mod Podge
Hot Glue
Cut the game board printable.
Mod Podge to wooden base. Set aside to dry.
Trim down the photos.
Mod Podge the two layers together, with the post between. The post should stick out 1″ below the photo.
Set aside to dry.
Use hot glue to secure the posts into the bases, and your game board is complete!
