I made this when my son was about 5 years old. Thought it might be a neat project to do.
You can make it as big or as small as you like.
I bought a very good quality piece of wood and used a router on the edges. Measured the squares until they were mostly even. Stained the edges and back and then painted the squares.
You can most likely find a board with the edges already done.
I had someone make me a little box and I glued that togther. Then stained it. Painted a little design on the lid and edges. Then with hot glue put Velvet with trim on the inside.
I bought already cut out wooden pieces for the Checkers and painted those.
Once the paint and stain is totally dry, use a good quality paste wax on the board, box and pieces.
