28. Garden Tic-Tac-Toe
Create a fun — and functional — addition to your garden or yard with a tic-tac-toe stepping stone set using this idea from homesteading blog Northwest Edible Life. Purchase nine square pavers and set them in your yard in a three-tile by three-tile square, leaving an inch or so between pavers.
Dig out some of the dirt beneath each paver to make the pieces lay flat. Find and clean 10 smooth stones of similar size, then paint an X on half of them and an O on the rest using acrylic craft paint. The kids can find the rocks, paint them and put the tic-tac-toe board.
The total estimated cost for garden tic-tac-toe is $23.29. Here’s what you’ll need:
Nine square pavers: $21.33
Two colors of acrylic craft paint: $1.96
