Table top Player pieces

- Small Toy ball or plastic Christmas ornament
- Hot glue and Glue gun
- Paint – Varying Primary colors or Primary Color Spray paint
Instructions:
- Take a toy ball and place it on top of a caution cone. The ball should fit snugly on top of the cone.
- Use a marker to trace around the ball where it meets the cone. This will give you a guide for where to cut.
- Using a pair of scissors, cut off the top of the cone along the line you just traced.
- Repeat this process with as many cones and balls as you need for your game.
- Make sure the ball stays securely on top of the cone by using hot glue to secure the ball on the cone.
- Take your desired primary color paint and paint the entire player piece you created. This may take multiple coats. A Faster alternative is to get a primary color spray paint and cover the entire game piece.
