Supplies Needed

- Outdoor chalk
How to make Tic Tac Toe Game
Step 1 – It is time to go on an outdoor adventure with your kids. Take them on your favorite hiking path or just for a nice walk. Grab a reusable bag or backpack to store your rocks. You are looking for about 10 smooth river rocks. Bonus if you can find them all around the same size.
Step 2 – Wash and dry your rocks. The paint will stick better to a clean surface and not peel.
Step 3 –ย Using a foam brush, paint five of your rocks pink and let them dry thoroughly. If you are outside on a hot day, it will dry extremely fast.
Don’t throw out that foam brush. Place in a grocery bag and wrap up. We will be using it again to apply a second coat.
Step 4 – Time to paint your other rocks.ย Using another foam brush, paint the other five rocks teal and let them dry.
Step 5 – Get out your previously saved foam brush and get ready to paint the second coat on your pink rocks. If after painting your pink rocks, move ahead and paint your teal rocks as well.
Step 6 –ย Now use your small flat brush and paint all your teal rocks with an “X” and all of your pink rocks with an “O” and let them dry.
Step 7 – Once your rocks are dry, use your chalk to draw a tic-tac-toe board on the ground.
If you have a fun little bag or even a shoebox, you can store them in a safe place for your next game. Hey! The kids can even decorate that show box too.
