🗺️ What is Rice Map Making? 🗺️
Rice map making is a fun and easy way of creating a unique fantasy map. First you scatter rice onto a page. Then using a fine liner, you draw around the groups and grains. This creates the land of your map. Next you label areas, add details such as buildings, towns, and trees. Finally, you stain the map with coffee and tie it up with a piece of ribon to make it look #authentic.
🎁 What is Dice Box Decorating 🎁
We have tiny wooden boxes for you to decorate. Can be used to store dice or other small trinkets.
🤔 Guess How Many Dice In The Jar 🤔
The classic Guess How Many Sweets In the Jar but with a nerdy twist! Guess correctly for a special prize.
