DIRECTIONS:
Take the
acrylic box cover and turn upside down. First you must draw the
playing grid with the black fine tip permanent marker on the
inside of the cover. Leaving a 1/8” border all around, you can
draw the grid with 1.25” x 1.25” squares. You can draw the
lines in any design (squiggly, dashes or solid). You should have a
grid with 9 squares.
BEES: Take 5 of
the wooden furniture buttons and paint them yellow, let dry. For
each button, take the black paint or black marker and paint the
curved face on one end of the button. Using the black marker, draw
strips across the button. Draw circular wings on the center top.
Draw antennae extending from the top of the face. Using the end of
a straightened paperclip, dip dot eyes with white acrylic paint on
the face. When dry, dip dot black paint on to the eye whites. Let
dry.
LADYBUGS: Take
the other 5 wooden furniture buttons and paint them red, let dry.
For each button, Take the black paint or marker and draw a curved
face on one end of the button. Take the black marker and draw a
perpendicular line from the face down the center of the button to
make the separate wings. Use the marker to make antennae extending
from the face and polka dots on the body. Use the paperclip to
paint the eyes as you did for the bees. Let dry.
Place
the bugs in the box until you are ready to pay a game of tic tac
toe. Note: Other designs can be painted on the buttons like hearts
vs., stars, etc.
