These are so quick to make and so easy but they are so good.
About 8 years ago I made some triangles for my daughter to use in her class room as a toy to play with on a rainy day. They were always one of the first things the kids wanted to play with. She is not teaching right now so she has them at home.
We had a birthday party for my grand daughter today an one of her cousins was there. He is a 5 year old that the doctors say he has ADD and ADA and every other A something that they can come up with. I think he is a 5 your old boy that just needs to eat less junk food...
We pulled out the blocks and he set in the corner of the room for 3 hours straight playing with them and was just as creative as he could be.
Here's what you need to do to make them. (read close, these are hard to make:))
Get some scrap solid wood, about 3/8 to 1/2 thick, rip it to about 2 1/2 inches wide. Set your miter gauge to 30 Degrees and start cutting, flip the board over after every cut, sand the edges and then paint them. I painted the ones I made half were red and half were black.
That is it, now give them to a kid and watch them go and yes you can play with them first to make sure they work.:D
