We love to make homemade games! Craft foam and felt are among my favorite materials to work with. The result is simple and the product is inexpensive. These are great as busy bags, especially when traveling. This foam pumpkin tic-tac-toe DIY game was inspired by a kit that I got at A.C. Moore. The kit had really fun ways to turn the pom pom pieces into spiders! Cute for Halloween!
