Description
While camping with relatives my brother got out a LARGE checker set that my grandson enjoyed playing with (stacking and pushing them over). The pieces I made are the same size with a coarser edge and stack very easily.
Not being satisfied with the plain sides I decided to use 3D Builder to emboss his first initial on one side then programmed some cartoon characters which my son and I painted then glued on the other side. Most of the painting was done with round toothpicks instead of brushes. The hard part was mixing the paints to get the colors I wanted.
I am including the files for the Bluey character and the checker with the letter M incase someone wants an example.
I will get the other 15 character files together and upload them to the site soon.
I printed the checkers on their side
