Pictominoes

Pictominoes are colorful dominoes that you and your kids can make together. Custom-make your dominoes with pictures instead of dots.

How to Make Pictominoes

What You'll Need:

• Index Cards in White or Pastel Shades
• Ink Pads
• 6 Small Rubber Stamps

Create colorful images on your Pictominoes cards.

Step One: Count out 28 index cards. On the blank side of each card, draw a line through the middle from one long side to the other.

Step Two: Take one of the ink stamps and make prints on 1 side of 4 of the index cards. Do the same with the rest of the ink stamps.

Step Three: This should leave you with 4 random spaces that are blank. That's OK; these are wild spaces.

Step Four: Play with your "pictominoes" as if they had dots, only match up the pictures instead!
