My daughter and her cousins love to play games. I think they love games even more than they love a good craft project on Saturday mornings. Lucky for them (ahem, me) this fun project I came up with allows them to do both!

Step
1

Flatten out each drawstring bag with an iron on the cotten setting.

Using a metal ruler and one of your paint markers create two vertical lines approximately 1″ a part, followed by two horizontal lines also 1″ a part to create your cross hatch tic-tac-toe board.

Collect your stones (make sure they are clean and dry) and decide which will be the “X”s and which will the “O”. We’ve chosen to substitute the “O” with a “heart” shape. Choose two colors for the shapes and begin drawing on the stones. We’ve chosen a neon green and bright pink. We applied two coats for a really bright solid color. Let them dry thoroughly before placing them in the bag.
