Well, why not take that idea a little bit further and actually make dice themed gift boxes the next time you host a party? Paper Scissors Pop shows you how to fold boxes that are a little bit bigger and make the perfect packaging for party favours on game night or at a birthday party. Blueberries and Bees shows you how to make them in a similar way to the jumbo wooden dice, but they also make great suggestions for what kinds of things to write on each side that will encourage your kids to get active and run, jump, and play. Maybe your kids love the idea of actually throwing dice around and seeing what comes up on top when they land but they’re not quite ready to start learning actual dice games just yet?

In fact, you can make lots of awesome things out of dice as well, transforming them into all kinds of useful things! We made our husbands these adorable cufflinks out of cut coloured dice attached to spare watch parts, managing to upcycle two things in one project, which is always a great feeling. Gameritis has a great tutorial for making a felt lined tray of your own, since they’re not very common in store and they can be on the pricy side. Besides keeping your dice contained so they don’t go scattering across the table, off the edges, and into oblivion, these trays keep the sound of the dice rolling around quiet so you can play any time. If you’re a regular to playing dice games of any kind then you probably already know how awesome having a dice box or tray to throw into is. Perhaps you’re looking for something eve n lighter than the foam dice and even easier to make? We really like that idea too because the easier the craft is, the more likely are kids are to be able to make it themselves, so that’s why we were pretty happy to find these simple printable dice templates on Pinterest! Print it out, label the numbered sides if you’d prefer to make your own designs on the other side rather than folding it printed side out, and get folding!
