DIY Foam Dice

 If you know me, you know that I l.o.v.e shopping and I l.o.v.e a good bargain! Like many of you, the Target dollar spot and The Dollar Tree are my favorite places this time of year! Look at this loot I recently picked up!

Isn’t it just scrumptious?! LOL

I am hoping to share with you what I plan to do with all of these goodies!

First up, DIY Foam Dice!

When I saw these foam cubes at The Dollar Tree, I couldn’t grab them fast enough! They are perfect for making your own foam dice! And at a dollar a bag, such a steal! Plus, foam is quiet. I like quiet! I also picked up the green basket because who can have enough baskets?! And my color scheme is bright pink, green and hints of black & white!

Here are the different types of dice that you can make:

Here’s a little tip…I found the permanent marker rubbed off the foam before it dried to be sure to create your dice over a scrap piece of paper and not on your antique table!

 {side note: I learned on Jeopardy the other night that the opposite sides of a die add up to 7! Never knew!}

 Letters and numbers. Great for sight word graphing games like {these}

 Rolling CVC words! Use one color for the vowels and one for the consonants.

Use them for word families!

Put the foam dice into the little basket {with ribbon of course!} and you’ve got yourself an instant center!

{for example purposes, I threw all the dice in together, but I would not do this for my class centers. Only throw in the dice that you need for the specific center to avoid confusion! ;)}

The possibilities are endless! What else can you make with the foam dice??
