Recycled Foam Dice
Foam offcuts
Black marker
Occasionally you come across old foam pieces that are no longer needed. You might find them in an old lounge or a bed.
These Big dice are great fun for kids games, are soft and washable.
Start by cutting into your foam with a large knife or scissors, this is of course a job for an adult.
Then taking your marker pen draw the numbers onto each side.
You can also cover these foam blocks with fabric for a more decorative block.

Fine idea, but the example looks like something from the set of Sanford & Son. I think my son would find this as exciting as a brown paper bag with a numeral printed on either side.
not very crafty. recycled doens't have to mean PLAIN. Create a recycled Cover for the die. Use die sides to teach prinicples to small children, colors, shapes, numbers, letters, animals etc. Be CREATIVE...
Try an upholstery supplies or factory. They should have heaps
Where can you buy these foam offcuts? I can't find any anywhere - I'm living in New York.
Electric knives work wonders for cutting foam
This would be great for an aged care facility.
