Dominos

Make the dominos

For dominos 3cm x 6 cm

• Draw, in pencil, 5 vertical lines all 30cm (12inches) and then 6 horizontal lines all 18cm (7inches) on the felt, using a ruler. You should get 30 rectangles measuring 3 x 6cm (1.2 x 2.4 inches).
• Draw a line lengthways on each of the rectangles to create the 2 faces of the domino.

• Go over these lines with the 3D paint.

NB: Draw a thin line, as the felt absorbs the ink very quickly.

• Cut out the dominos along the 6 horizontal lines. You should get 30 dominos.

• Keep the leftover felt.

Mark the dots on the dominos

• Make a note on a piece of paper a list of 28 dominos and their combinations.
