Equipment

  • Computer and printer
  • Ruler or straight edge.
  • Scissors
  • Paint brushes

Materials

  • Wooden Board 5 x 7 inches
  • 10 Mini Star Wood pieces
  • Gel Stain
  • White Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Tracing Paper
  • Pencil
  • Black Sharpie
  • Carrying Bags

Instructions

  • Stain the board and paint the stars, half white and half black.
  • Print and cut out the line template.
  • Use tracing paper to trace the lines image with a pencil onto the stained board. You can also use white chalk on the back of the image for tracing.
  • Use a ruler or straight-edge to darken the lines with a black Sharpie pen.
  • Store the playing pieces in a small bag, then add the small bag and the board to a larger bag for storage and travel.

Notes

You can use any two different playing pieces or the same in two colors. You don't have to have X's and O's
You may find that the wooden stars need to be sanded a little if they have rough edges.
You may need to paint a couple of coats of paint on the stars.
You can trace the image without tracing paper by using light colored chalk rubbed all over the back of the image. 
You can probably use a ruler to draw lines with a Sharpie instead of using the template.
