Snakes and Ladders

One evening after I brought Little Bee home from her school's field trip, I was shocked to find a colossal snakes and ladders game, crafted lovingly out of a wooden board from Little Bee's old discarded baby cot!


Big Bee demonstrating how big the board is! 

Hubby and Big Bee worked on this splendid craft over a couple of hours, with Hubby drawing the boxes on the board with a black permanent marker, and Big Bee filling in the entire game with her perfectly drawn ladders and snakes, all placed at strategic intervals! 



The entire family, including Little Bee, tried our hands at the game that evening - amidst much success. The huge board allowed easy access by all of us to throw the dice and place our tokens, and let all 4 of us enjoy the luxury of space when playing a family board game. Wonderful indeed! 

Hubby informed me his next project with the Bees would be a labyrinth, along the likes of Dungeons and Dragons, I assume - using the other boards of that same discarded cot!
