Anyway, it's still on my mind that today is the 5th of December and since I have not missed a single post of Creativity 521 since it started over a year ago, I don't wish for it to happen now. In this last installment of Angel's Dora birthday party series, I am sharing with you on the fairly simple Hopscotch board we made.
For board,
1) Plain paper
2) Construction paper
3) Thick paper or cardboard
4) Colour printer
5) Plastic wrap (the kind used for covering books)
6) Sticky tape
7) Double sided tape
8) Scissors
9) Glue
For bean bag,
1) Cloth
2) Needle and thread
3) Dora picture
You can use either Photoshop or even Powerpoint to create the above picture. I used the Circulate BRK font (here is how you can install new fonts on Windows) for the numbers and simply overlaid pictures of Dora and her friends. Do look for Portable Network Graphics (PNG) when you search for the pictures (type: Dora png, Boots png etc in Google images) because they are easily transferable and usually come without a background so you do not need to crop anything. All you have to do is save the pictures, insert and place them where you desire.
In addition, I did not want this board to be a one-off thing so I decided to protect it by wrapping it with a plastic wrap. Cut the plastic at the edges, fold them to the back and secure them with sticky tape. It doesn't matter if it is not very neat at the back! One good thing about plastic wrap is that the kids can even wear shoes to play the game outdoors because it is so easy to clean up after.
There! A really simple DIY hopscotch board, don't you think so? Oh, because we used individual papers underneath, the board folds up easily and can be stored away until you, or your kid, decide to play it again. Now, you can make any character themed hopscotch board for a party game! Have fun doing and hopping!
