DIY Kids Pegging Game

Kids Stuff· Wood

If you’re anything like me, when summer comes around you feel equal parts excitement and fear. It’s such a magical time with all the sunshine, popsicles, and outdoor play, but it can also be super daunting keeping your kids engaged for those {sometimes LOOOONG} three months. One of our favorites is this rainbow pegging DIY kids game. You can use it for building, sorting, matching, counting, making patterns, and more! It’s open-ended for any rules to be at play and is the perfect boredom buster that is fun and simple to make. Keep reading for the tutorial!

Supplies needed to make your own pegboard DIY kids game:

  • Wooden Pegboard
  • 3/8″ Dowels
  • Wood Beads (3/8 in hole)
  • Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • X-Acto Razor Saw Set

Step 1. Cut the dowels into 1.5 inch pegs. Cutting the pegs to 1.5 inches makes it so you can stack beads and pegs on top of each other. Sand any rough edges. Note: This DIY kids game uses 30 pegs, but you can decide how many you want based on the size of your pegboard. If you use a different pegboard, make sure you use dowels and beads that will fit correctly.

Step 2. Paint the beads and pegs (30 of each) with non-toxic craft paint so that it’s safe for kids. Let the paint dry completely.

Step 3. Stick each peg in the pegboard, and slide each bead over the pegs.

Then sit back and watch the kids flock to this beautiful DIY kids game! I stepped away for one minute and when I came back, my two kids and their two cousins (from age 2 up to 7) had flocked to the pegboard game and were having so much fun making towers and moving all the pieces around!

Make pretty designs, make your own rules, the possibilities for this DIY kids game are endless!

Happy crafting!
