DIY Life Size Dice for Yard Games - These DIY Life Size Dice are great for any game that involves dice! They are easy to make and perfect for kids, families, youth groups, etc.

Summer is just around the corner and hopefully that means we'll be getting to spend lots of time outside. I'm excited to share a great DIY project with you today that everyone will love!

With DIY Life Size Dice, you can do so many activities including: math with your kids, yahtzee, and farkle.

Tools:

  • Saw (Any)
  • 2 Cans White Spray Paint
  • 1 Black Sharpie
  • 1 Can Spray Lacquer (optional)
  • Drill
  • Sand Paper
  • Wood: 1 – 4×4 (Cut 5 pieces that are 3 ½ x 3 ½ inches)

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting your board into 5 cubes that are 3 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches.

Dice Step 1
2. Next, you will need to sand each cube with 150 grit sandpaper. This is simply to smooth any edges and to allow for a better paint look.

Dice Step 2
3. Once you are finished sanding, spray paint each one white. This may take two coats for optimum coverage.

Dice Step 3-2
4. Once your cubes have finished drying, you will use a round router bit (as shown in photo) to make your holes. Make sure to measure or use a guide so that your holes do not end up crooked. We used a measuring square and simply made small guide holes with a thumb tack.

DIY Dice Step 4
5. Once your holes have been made, use your black sharpie to fill them in black.

Dice Step 5
6. Once the paint has finished drying, coat each cube with the spray lacquer if desired. This will allow it to last longer and protect it from moisture, etc. It will also give your dice a little shine!
