Tic Tac Toe Toss Game Tutorial

Learn how to sew your own tic tac toe toss game. Easy instructions, toss in the car and play anywhere!

The outdoors is a great place to be during the summer.  This super simple tic tac toe toss game is great for doing just that.  They aren’t that large and can be tossed in a bag or in the car for a ride to the park or to a neighbors home.

Besides tic tac toe – these pieces can be use for tossing on a bull’s eye mark, into buckets, measure how far you can throw… the ideas are endless when the kids are involved!

We haul ours around with a piece of chalk.  The game boards can easily be drawn and the chalk dust on the pieces won’t harm them.  They simply brush right off.
