PBJ Game
Do you need an easy DIY for a preschooler present? Know how to use a glue gun? Then, you can make this cute, simple game. Best of all, it's nut-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free!
Supplies:
- 4 pieces of cream felt (I used craft felt)
- 4 pieces of purple felt
- 4 pieces of tan/light brown felt
- bread slice template (here)
- wood cube (I bought mine at the Dollar Tree)
- freezer paper
- glue gun
- scissors, hot glue sticks, clothes iron, pen/pencil
- metal tin for storage (I bought mine at Walmart)
I saw the idea for this game on Homeketeers and thought it was a great idea. Since I did my game a bit differently though, I thought I'd post my own DIY.
1) Print template from the website. You may need to play around with the sizing to get a "slice" that fits in your tin lunch box. Or you can draw one free hand.
2) Place a piece of freezer paper (I found mine with the tin foil, etc, at Walmart) over the printed template, paper side up, and trace the bread slice 4 times.
3) Iron the freezer paper onto the cream felt, taking care not to scorch your felt. Cut out slices but don't throw away your templates yet.
4) Cut out 4 more slices, using the freezer paper templates.
5) Cut out a "blob" to use for the jelly and/or the peanut butter. Iron it onto the tan or purple felt and cut out. Make a total of 4. Repeat process for the other condiment (peanut butter or jelly).
6) Using the glue gun, attach one slice of bread onto a solid sheet of cream felt. Cut around the slice to make a double-thick piece. Do this process for all the pieces, each with their own color (see picture).
7) Glue scrap pieces of felt onto the wood block to make a die (2 squares of each color).
8) Put all the pieces in a metal lunch box to store until game time.
To Play:
Each player is trying to build their own PBJ sandwich. The players take turns rolling the die and picking up the pieces that match the color they roll. If a player rolls a color that s/he doesn't need, then the player doesn't collect any pieces that round. The game is won when one player has a complete sandwich- 2 pieces of bread, 1 blob of jelly, and 1 blog of peanut butter.
Hope you enjoy!
