McCoy's Kid
Great Ideas for Your Little Builder
If you’ve got a McCoy’s bucket, some wood scraps, and a kiddo or two, we’ve got a great way to spend the afternoon. Get your little builder working on a yard dice game. With a little guidance from you, they’ll be terrific at painting, sanding and – best of all – playing!
Yard Dice Game Plan
Materials List:
- 1-4x4x8 Treated Post
- Medium Grit Sand Paper
- White Paint
- Circular Saw
- Saw Horse
- 3 Paints in Assorted Colors
- 2-inch Foam Paint Brush
- 1-inch Round Foam Paint Brush
Instructions:
Step 1: Have an adult cut a 4X4 post into 5 cubes. Pro Tip: Treated 4X4 posts are actually 3.5” X 3.5”, so be sure to cut the length to match the height and width.
Step 2: Sand cubes to round edges and smooth surfaces.
Step 3: Use 2-inch paint brush to lightly paint each cube white. Let dry.
Step 4: Sand cubes lightly to create a distressed look.
Step 5: Use round paint brush to paint dots on dice. Let dry.
Step 6: Use sand paper to lightly distress dots.
