Kids are always keen to try out new games, and sometimes its just as fun to make your own new game than to buy a new one from the shop! Making your own board game doesn’t have to be hard. All you need is some creativity and imagination, and a little time.
Here are some of my favourite ideas for DIY kids games from other bloggers.

Most of these can be made from materials you likely already have in your cupboards or lying around somewhere in your house, with games to use up energy outdoors on a sunny day or a quiet board game for rainy day fun.
