chore dice

May 25, 2011

i am currently obsessed with pinterest.com
there are so many great ideas!

i came across this one
for chore dice the other day

i definitely wanted to make some!
i changed up the idea a little bit.
my kids are currently very motivated
to earn money.
so i decided to add that in.

 first i bought 3 unfinished wood blocks from the craft store
{my daughter helped paint them}


then i printed out the square labels.
{it's unfortunate that i misspelled vacuum for the millionth time}


once the labels were cut,
it was time to assemble using
modge podge.

my daughters wanted them to be sparkly,
so we also added glitter
{just make sure you do
another layer of modge podge
or else you'll need to add "clean up glitter"
to the chore list}
so far it is working really well!
we made one block "before dinner chores",
the second "after dinner chores" and
the third block has the amount of money
they get for each chore.
