Have you ever dreamed of creating your own game? With our step-by-step guide, you can make your own children's game! Whether as a fun family project or a creative afternoon activity, this crafting process not only provides hours of fun, but also encourages creative development and fine motor skills. Let's get started together and create a personalised and unique game!
A creative adventure: Design your own children's game
Step 1: Painting terracotta pots and tray bowl

Start your crafting journey by painting the terracotta pots and the tray bowl. Use colourful craft paints for this. Let your creativity run wild! Colour the pots and tray to your liking. Make sure that the colours cover well and allow the painted parts to dry completely before you continue.

Step 2: Glue on the wooden heads

Once the colours have dried, glue the wooden heads to the painted terracotta pots using handicraft glue. The wooden heads serve as game pieces and add a special touch to your game. Press the heads firmly onto the pots and allow the glue to dry completely.

Step 3: Design the playing field

Now it's time to design your playing field. Use stippling brushes and different colours to dab dots or squares onto the tray. These will later represent the paths for your game pieces. Design the playing field as you wish - whether colourful and lively or in a specific order. The colours must also dry well here.

Step 4: Painting the cube

Now take a look at the cube. Paint each side of the cube with different colours. The cube will later determine how far your game pieces can advance. To personalise the cube even more, you can also paint numbers or dots on it. Leave the cube to dry thoroughly.

Step 5: Sealing with acrylic varnish

To make your artwork durable and resistant, paint both the playing field and the cube with acrylic varnish. The acrylic varnish protects the colours from wear and tear and gives your game a beautiful shine. Allow the varnish to dry thoroughly before you start playing.

Step 6: Set the rules of the game

Now comes the fun part - playing! Together with your children or fellow players, come up with individual rules for the game. Here's a simple suggestion: Each player has a maximum of two game pieces. If a player rolls "their" colour, they can advance one space. The first player to reach the end of the playing field wins the game!
