Indoor Hopscotch Knock Off

The last time we went to our counselors

she had made a kiddie corner

that had a hopscotch area.

It was the cutest thing,

made from a thick foam core material

 that fit together like a puzzle.

Similar to this one.

T said that his girlfriends little girl loved to play hopscotch

and that would be a great Christmas gift since they live in an apartment.

After shopping around the least expensive he could find was $40.

Too steep for this frugal family.

So we started brain storming on how we could make one.

We could:

buy some foam core material

but wasn't sure if we could get it that thick

and what it would cost

or find some rubber mats that could be "dressed up"

or.....

a bunch of other things that wouldn't really work

physically

or monetarily.

Plus it needs to be sent out of state to her,

so postage cost (weight) comes into play also.

I suggested an old sheet that was still good in the middle

he suggested felt for the squares

He set about working on it.

Centering the felt squares

Cutting the numbers out

Using spray adhesive to attach the squares

Almost done

Vintage buttons secured the corners

He added her name with a Princess Crown above 

Just need to finish the sides.

Sorry didn't get a photo of it finished.

Needed to get it in the mail.

But not bad for a frugal knock off using what we had.

He did a pretty good job for some one who crafting is a bit foreign.

Good job T!!!

You put all your love into this.

She is going to love it!
