Checkers Board

• **This is a part of our ‘All Things Checkers’ series–Make sure you watch the tutorial on how to make a Basic Half-Strip Checkerboard if you haven’t already!**

  

  Wow, it’s good to be back in full swing! I have missed making tutorials and missed pulling tape more than you can even imagine. Unless you’re as obsessed with tape as I am and have gone as long as I just did, however, and then maybe you *can* imagine such a thing after all.

  I decided to post a checker board this week because (besides the fact that I wanted to post some more checker related posts) I figured I might as well face it: My kids are completely bored. They weren’t able to bring all of their toys and junk with us on the move, so they’ve been pretty limited. This has totally grabbed their interest, though, and not just the checkers. I made a bunch of extra pieces to play games like Switcheroos, and they’ve been using *all* of the pieces to make up interesting games of their own.

  I love that this board is sturdy and magnetic so the pieces don’t slide off every which way. Remember, you can get the magnets at K&J Magnetics (the link is for the actual magnets I used for this project) or, go the expensive route and get them at the craft store. The washers I use I just got at Home Depot.

  Happy pulling, duck-os! And remember you can find us on facebook!
