DIY tic-tac-toe

I love playing tic-tac-toe and my kids are finally at the age where they are starting to learn there's a bit of strategy to the game which makes it even more fun!
To make this DIY tic-tac-toe game, all you need are a few items from the dollar store and a few items you probably have at home. It's that easy!
What you will need:
8 foam dice
wood sign with wide sides
stencil (optional)
acrylic paint
If you turn over your little wood sign yours should like like mine, with this little picture hanger thingy on it. Carefully use a flat head screw driver to remove it. It should come off relatively easy, it is just glued in place. Then, if you would like, paint the inside of your picture. I bought a black picture so that I could paint the inside black to make it match pretty easily.
Next you will need to paint your foam dice. This is a bit time consuming painting all of the sides and giving each side multiple coats. I did about 4 coats on each side of my dice.
Once your last coat of paint has dried on your dice you need to add your X's and O's. I do not like my freehand writing and didn't trust myself, so I got this stencil at the dollar store as well and used it to add an X to one side of every dice and then an O so the opposite side of each dice. This way there is always enough X's and O's for the game!
Once it's all dry you're ready to play! Divide up your dice into 4 dice each and decide who is X and who is O. Then start placing your dice using the imaginary lines in your picture. If you don't like the imaginary lines, you could use a marker to draw on lines if you are playing with smaller children. Good luck!
