Turn a spot in your yard into a giant version of the classic paper-and-pencil game tic-tac-toe. Stone pavers laid into the lawn in a checkered pattern create the playing board. Youngsters can help by turning smooth rocks into playing pieces with paint.

What You Need

• 5 square stone pavers (we found our 7-inch-square variety at Lowe's)
• Trowel or shovel

• Paint
• 10 smooth, clean stones

Instructions

1. To make the board, arrange the pavers where you'd like them on the lawn. Then, using them as templates, cut through the sod with a trowel or shovel. Remove the pavers, dig up the sod, and replace the pavers.

2. For playing pieces, paint Xs and Os on 10 smooth, clean stones.
