How to make it
Bottle caps are a choking hazard for children under 3.
1Draw the grid
Mark an 8 by 8 grid of 2 in squares with a ruler and pencil.
2Tape every other square
Tape off alternating squares like a checkerboard.
3Paint the squares
Paint the open squares in one color. Let it dry, then peel the tape.
4Paint the rest
Paint the remaining squares the second color, or leave them bare.
5Ready the caps
Wash the caps. Paint them if they aren't already 2 colors.
6Play a game
Set up and play. Teach them the tricks you learned as a kid.
Bottle caps are taller than flat checkers, so they're easier to pick up and slide with stiff fingers.
