abitat Kansas City ReStore often has piles of leftover scrap wood lying around. We like to get creative with these pieces that might otherwise end up in a landfill if not for our friends at the ReStore. To make your own lawn games, simply cut wood to size and sand any rough edges. Then, you can paint them or leave them bare and give them a good torching. For the dice, place quarters where you’d like the dots and then just use a blow torch around them. Throw on a coat of polyurethane and you’re all set. Whether you topple the tower (just watch out for your toes when all that wood falls), or roll the dice (Try Yahtzee!), supersized games are tons of fun in the summer sun!
