This homemade 3-in-1 game board lets players take their pick of challenges, with tic-tac-toe and checkers on one side and a penny-pitching target on the other. Roll it up like a scroll and take it on vacation for a rainy-day diversion.

Materials
20- by 11-inch piece of felt (we used pinking shears to trim the edges) Tacky glue Ruler Chalk 1-inch square pencil eraser Colored puffy fabric paint, including white Scissors 28-inch length of ribbon Game pieces (12 pennies and 12 nickels) | |
| Seasons: Traveling | |
| Materials: felt | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Fold over one of the shorter ends of the felt 4 inches from
the edge and glue together the side seams to form a pocket for
storing game pieces. |
| 2. |  Use the eraser and paint to stamp a checkerboard to the
right of the pocket. To make it easier, first draw 2
perpendicular 8-inch guidelines with chalk. Next, stamp a
tic-tac-toe board on the face of the pocket. Once the paint
dries, brush off the chalk lines. |
| 3. |  On the flip side of the board, draw 4 chalk circles, one
inside the other, to make a target. You can trace around
different-size circular objects, such as a cup, saucer, bowl, and
dinner plate. Cover the chalk circles with colored fabric paint
and label each with a point value. |
| 4. |  Once the paint has dried, attach a ribbon tie. To do so, snip a small slit in the end opposite the pocket and thread the
ribbon through it. With the game pieces stowed in the pocket, the
board rolls up for easy storage and transport.
