Chalkboard Blocks

I found these lovely little blocks at a thrift store a while back. Two of them have candle holders in them so I'm not sure what I will do with those.

 I took the remaining blocks and put several coats of this chalkboard paint on each block. Yes I know the picture is sideways. I forgot to turn it before uploading it and my computer is being sooooooo slow there is no way I am starting over. If anyone knows how to flip pictures once they are in Blogger I would love to know. Anyways....

 Next time I will prime first because you can see the old design faintly through the paint. Otherwise, I like how they turned out and it was a really cheap project. I plan on using these for various activities with the boys.

One activity I want to do is to use three blocks to play a game sort of like Simon Says. I will put directionals on one, numbers on one, and movements on the other. Each person will roll all three die and do what they say. For instance: hop forward three times, turn in four circles. Etc.
